Jeannie Kerr
Dr. Kerr is an educational philosopher, theorist, and qualitative researcher of Irish maternal and settler identity. Her scholarship examines the reproduction of societal inequalities in formal and informal educational settings through a decolonial orientation and analysis. Her work is directed towards collaboratively repairing and renewing relations in educational settings and Canadian society.
Drawing on her significant experience as a K-12 educator in economically marginalized communities, her theorizing and research projects centre the complexities and complicities inherent in educational activities and seek to disrupt the centring of Euro-Western approaches and knowledges in the broader interest of supporting vibrant epistemic ecologies and promoting systemic change.
