A Pedagogy of Hope through Research and Practice

Our Mission

The Office of a Pedagogy of Hope through Research and Practice aspires to work in community with others to identify, understand, and address issues of marginalization. Through reflection, engagement, and dialogue with historical and contemporary issues in educational systems, our office exists to re-imagine learning spaces as accessible and inclusive for all. In community, we seek to bring together Gonzaga University students, faculty, staff, and members of the Spokane community to push systems towards active change and transformation.
