In 2024, Harvard Educational Review invited scholars to submit articles for a special issue on Education and Palestine. Working with a group of six collaborators led by Zeena Zakharia, a Palestinia
Institutional reckoning in higher education: Possibilities, tensions, and paradoxes of pursuing decolonial peace frameworks within the academy
Reframing School Culture through Project-Based Assessment Tasks: Cultivating Transformative Agency and Humanizing Practices in NYC Public Schools
Background/Context In the last two decades, high-stakes testing policies have proliferated exponentially, radically altering the broader educational landscape in the United States. Although these policies continue to dominate educational reform agendas, researchers argue that they have not improved educational outcomes for youth and have exacerbated inequities in schooling across racial, economic, geographic, and linguistic lines. Alternative pro…

Over the past five decades, both peace education and human rights education have emerged distinctly and separately as global fields of scholarship and practice.

Sites of Liberation or Sites of Despair: The Challenges and Possibilities of Democratic Education in an Urban Public School in New York City
This article considers the possibilities of critical democratic education through the lived experiences of students at an urban U.S. public school. I show how students shape their own educational trajectories amid larger meta-narratives about schooling to illuminate the complexities and paradoxes of democratic schools. I argue that democratic schools are neither sites of transformation nor sites of despair, but rather sites where agency is negoti…
Considering Human Rights Education as U.S. Public School Reform
In a climate where high-stakes testing, accountability, and the privatization of public schooling are the dominant discourses surrounding educational reform in the United States, sound pedagogical
Institutionalizing critical peace education in public schools: A case for comprehensive implementation
Drawing from critical theories in education, this article empirically examines the role that public schools can play as conduits for critical peace education, particularly for young people who have been historically marginalized from school. Based on two years of ethnographic data collection at a public high school in New York City, I explore how students make meaning of their educational experiences at a school that emphasizes democratic princip…
