This work has been inspired by Dr. Kevin Kumashiro who challenges us to question common sense assumptions of schooling, to acknowledge the partiality of knowledge, and to be in the practice of unlearning as we learn and unteaching as we teach.
The UnLeading Project makes two assumptions: Leadership exists in all spaces, and we are all leaders. If you are a leader or aspiring leader, or if you are interested in leadership in classrooms, schools, communities, homes, districts, and academies, this podcast series is for you. If you know that traditional approaches to leadership have not addressed the realities or attended to the aspirations of students and communities most harmed by schooling, this podcast series is for you.
Throughout this podcast series, we focus on:
- Naming the logics of discourses and intersecting systems of oppression that have been used to oppress, dispossess, and dehumanize
- Centering approaches to leadership based in knowledge systems that have been silenced under dominant conceptions of leadership

S3 E2 Leading for Linguistic Justice and Language Revitalization
Leading for Linguistic Justice and Language Revitalization explores the ways in which narrow conceptions of language, notions of “standard” English, and accent discrimination maintain systems of white supremacy and colonialism. We consider how our understandings of language change our access to thinking and being in schools, communities, and the academy. This podcasts challenges Eurocentricity and invites us to consider how coloniality influences how we speak, listen, communicate, and engage with one another. We will also explore the possibilities of practices like translanguaging that allow people to bring their full selves and identities to a space.
