• Families &Teachers: Partners in Education for Human Freedom
• Diaspora Literacy for Youth Leadership and Culturally-Situated Citizenship
• Academic & Cultural Excellence for Community Well-Being

Dr. Joyce King holds the Benjamin E. Mays Endowed Chair for Urban Teaching, Learning & Leadership in the Department of Educational Policy Studies at Georgia State University. Her research documents how mainstream American education produces dysconsciousness — a term she coined to describe a habit of mind that resists a critically transformative understanding of race and racialized inequity. She is the immediate past-president of the American Educational Research Association.

Dr. King’s publications demonstrate cultural well being as a necessary goal in successful education for all students (and teachers), who are mis-educated by alienating school curricula. Her publications and community outreach show how families and teachers can work together as partners to connect culture to learning.
