Emma Elliot-Groves, assistant professor in the College of Education, joined with other educators to provide testimony that imagines a world that fosters stronger human relationships with each other and with the land. They argue that to do this we must first address the challenging contemporary global and national contexts that we are in and understand the paradigms that have led us to where we are. One of the key points made in this testimony is in support of the Indigenous long practiced forms of education in which land-based, play-based, intergenerational, and applied learning strategies have helped the next generation learn what it means to live in ethical and sustainable relationship with all living beings. They stress that these long-standing systems of education that have helped our children learn the full spectrum of what it means to be human, to live ethically, and to take care of one another have been interrupted by colonial models of education.

Alumna Irene Yoon wrote an op-ed published in The Salt Lake Tribune urging leadership in Utah to advance educational equity. Specifically, Yoon urges state leadership to reject Utah State Administrative Rule 277-328, which could be interpreted as banning all discussions about race in the state's public education systems. "Learning about histories and structures of inequity is about honoring and learning from the past, good, bad and in between, so that we can dream a better future," she argues. Yoon is an associate professor of educational leadership and policy at the University of Utah.
