Dr. Lee’s work is driven by the understanding that schools advance racial justice and equity when school stakeholders collaboratively design for school improvement. His research examines how school stakeholders learn to collaboratively center justice and equity in their practices through design and improvement partnerships. More specifically, He connects three related areas of study, examining how: 1) organizational learning for racial justice occurs through distributed leadership in K-12 schools that respond to the knowledge and needs of minoritized school stakeholders; 2) methodological advances in research-practice partnerships (RPPs) facilitate systematic, participatory knowledge-building for racial justice in schools; and 3) technology-mediated educational practices can be designed and implemented to center the context-specific assets, knowledge, and needs of school stakeholders.
