Theme: Educators’ Responsible Well-Being as Social Justice: Toward a Sustainable Future for Educational Systems
The concept of social justice finds its roots in the Latin word justitia, which means ‘justice’ or ‘righteousness.’ This etymological origin reflects social justice’s fundamental role in promoting fairness and equality for all members of society, particularly those who are marginalized or oppressed. In the context of education, social justice is often described as both a process and a goal, seeking “full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs” (Bell, 2007, p. 3). Traditionally, discussions about social justice in education have focused on its implementation for students, placing the responsibility on educators to champion these causes; to meet their needs. However, the well-being of educators themselves is seldom discussed and considered with the same vigor or even viewed as a social justice issue. This illuminating oversight highlights a critical gap in our approach: just as we place responsibility on educators for their students’ rights and well-being, we must also extend this duty to encompass the rights and well-being of the educators themselves. Embracing a truly comprehensive view of social justice in education, thus, necessitates giving educators what we ask them to give to others (Moreno et al., 2025)…full call continued here.
