Educational Leadership Doctoral Program

Academic Department

Build the leadership liberation demands.

Confront. Disrupt. Dismantle.

For leaders who know justice requires liberation not just reform.

The Doctorate in Educational Leadership for Social Justice and Equity at SFSU prepares critical scholar-practitioners to confront, disrupt and dismantle unjust educational systems while building liberatory, humanizing and community-accountable forms of leadership across California public education.
