What is and Justice for All?

​and Justice for All is an ongoing project to foster and share sparking ideas, creativity and innovation towards a more open and just world. Ideas from researchers, teachers and advocates for social justice and criticality are always welcome. The overarching goal is to close the gap between knowledge produced by teachers, students and researchers in order to share resources from across the globe.

​​Yecid Ortega is the founder of this project. He finished his doctoral studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto in Language and Literacies Education with a specialization in Comparative, International, and Development Education. His major research interests draw from ethnographic approaches and critical research in teacher education. He explores how social justice juxtaposes with concepts of culture, race, linguistics, human rights, diversity and equity in different national and international  teacher education programs.
