Social Justice, Ethical Leadership and Engaged Scholarship

---

We pleased to announce the launch of the Social Justice and Engaged Scholarship Dialogue Series 2026.

The series creates an important space for critical engagement, collaborative learning, and intellectual exchange across the Canon Collins scholar community. Bringing together scholars, practitioners, artists, and public intellectuals, the Dialogue Series explores the relationship between social justice and engaged scholarship through discussion, lived experience, and participatory learning.

First-year and second-year scholarship recipients are especially encouraged to register and participate. Alumni and other scholars across the Canon Collins community are also warmly invited to join the conversations.

The series officially begins with the Orientation Session on Wednesday, 27 May 2026 from 13:00–15:00.

The overall purpose of this course is to build critical understanding about the relationship between social justice (SJ), ethical leaderships(EL) and socially engaged scholarship (SES).

At the end of the course, you should be able to:

• Locate social justice within the historical and contemporary milieu;
• Explain the theory and practice of social justice (contextualized and through practical experience);
• Examine the underlying theory, principles and values of ethical leadership and its relationship to society;
• Build theoretical and practical knowledge of the relationship between social justice and ethical leadership;
• Discuss participatory research methodologies and approaches that advance social justice and ethical leadership with specific reference to build understanding of socially engaged scholarship;
• Develop appropriate learning models of solidarity to advance collective understandings of implementing social justice, ethical leadership and engaged scholarship
