Here&#8217;s a brief excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We write this acknowledging that the vast majority of educational\u2014particularly classroom-specific\u2014research is conducted now without acknowledging the sociopolitical contexts that press on the lives of youth today. As students sit in schools within the U.S., they are presented with reminders that youth are presently in cages, are victims of violence and unarmed deaths, and are foisted into debates of the morality of alleged sexual assault. To consider improving student learning outcomes, we must first acknowledge the substantial damage that is being incurred by both the blindness of schools to the healing needs of youth (Zembylas, 2007) and the normative approaches of educational research on vulnerable communities (Tuck, 2009).<\/p>\n<p>Further, we note that the words, policies, and violence prevalent in global contexts is not bound to the whims or motives of individuals; we see today\u2019s political actions\u2014internationally \u2013 shaping the landscape of learning and technology long after the administration of individual leaders. As a result, the papers in this issue explore the broader landscape of the current political climate, rather than focusing exclusively on specific figures and events. It is our hope that they provoke renewed conversations<br \/>\nabout the intersections of learning, engagement, and resistance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We edited this issue because there is not a more important focus for us to center in educational research than the lives of individuals continually living under the threat of oppression and autocracy. Our contributors are interrogating this topic in powerful, imaginative, and hopeful ways.
