In 2022, over 20 social studies educators from across the state of Illinois participated in Envisioning Justice, Imagining Freedom. The five-part professional learning series, designed by Drs. Asif Wilson, Rachel McMillian, and Jon Hale, led participating educators through an exploration of the school to prison nexus, justice-centered pedagogical praxes, and P-20 teaching and learning. After exploring the concepts in their practices, and the structures of their schools, each educator created and implemented an action plan to dismantle carcerality and center justice in their pedagogical and curricular praxes.
