PAUSE for Pedagogy

In, "Black Male/Female Leadership Development as Social Justice Education," Dorsey Spencer Jr. and LaFarin Meriwether discuss the additional struggles Black students face within the context of being a leader when compared to their non-Black peers. This notion is apparent in how students define and describe what leadership is and what it means to be a leader. The article explores recommendations for leadership development for Black students. Read the article, then watch the short video interview afterward with Spencer, Meriwether, and PAUSE editor, Dan Jenkins.

Trimble, will explore these questions, share research findings from a network of international leadership scholars, contribute to understanding successful leadership in unique cultural settings, and capture the effectiveness diverse leadership can have in the world at large.

In the article, Thompson touches on her personal journey of moving and working in El Salvador and how she came to use Dalton's poems as a guide to understanding the country and its history of violence and repression.
