At UCLA Education, we are out in the community, engaged in the urgent transformative work at the intersection of theory, practice, and policy. You’ll be working with top experts in the nation who share a commitment to social justice and ensuring educational equity.

Contribute your ideas, your skills, your unique perspective, your diverse background—they’re all welcome here.

Rather than focusing on particular context-specific technologies and institutions, we focus on people as actors and agents in their worlds (instead of as users, patrons, or consumers); on communities as networks of belonging, that foster agency and the construction of identity among their members; on culture as both the means for, and the result of, people’s cultivation of their capabilities; and on artifacts as the objects through which culture is preserved, reproduced, and re-imagined.

This approach is necessarily pluralist and global in scope: pluralist in the sense that multiple ways of being, doing, and knowing are assumed to coexist; and global in the sense that these ways of life interact across cultural boundaries of all types.

We share a strong, specific ethical commitment to the advancement of social equity, social justice, and individual and community empowerment, and to the promotion of diversity, accountability, and intellectual openness.
