C&P invites and encourages educators, artists, and activists to mindfully cultivate complex lines of curricular inquiry, pedagogical exploration, and community-based democratic practice via multiple avenues of critical engagement with educational praxis. Achieving this mission necessitates a curious consideration of sundry approaches, epistemologies, methods, and voices to address the intersectional intricacies of social justice struggles, within and beyond formal educational practice. Further, this mission is undergirded by C&P’s core values of social justice and equity; authentic, ethical, and critical inquiry; collaborative, generative, and caring community; and the democratic ideal of shared governance and participatory action.
