Re-imagining how Knowledge and Practices in the Field of Education is Created, Shared, and Experienced

Our vision is to promote knowledge sharing and praxis among scholars, practitioners, and the public. Using multimodality and the arts to communicate research findings in non-traditional forms, Mai Pedagogy Project aims to inspire newer musings, fuller theorizations, and more experiential practices towards educational justice. 

We call this form of community-engaged scholarship “research artivism.” The term “artivism” is derived in part from the rich legacies of Chicanx artists from East Los Angeles and Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico who combined art and activism to educate and organize for social transformation; and other BIPOC creators whose representations of knowledge more fully capture the multiplicity of the language, literacy, and cultural practices of their selves, communities, and marginalized groups.

Why Mai Pedagogy Matters

Our goal is to democratize research, amplify unheard voices, and provide pedagogical tools for co-creating racially just learning spaces. The project serves as a beacon for educators, scholars, and artivists who champion racial justice in education, uniting diverse voices and communities to reimagine possibilities within and beyond educational institutions.
