Virtual Ignatian Inquiry Sessions
The JSN is eager to encourage a spirit of inquiry across the many layers of our work in Jesuit education. With our Virtual Ignatian Inquiry Sessions we seek to promote content-based resources for the schools and tell the stories of our schools and the educators in them.
Upcoming Session
Inclusive Leadership at Jesuit Secondary Schools in the Jesuit Schools Network with Dr. Katie McCann
This virtual session explores the doctoral research undertaken by Dr. Katie McCann. In sharing her research across the JSN, Dr. McCann highlights the connection between school leadership and the experience of inclusion in the workplace. Aligned with the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus and rooted in Catholic social thought and Ignatian pedagogy, as well as in research on inclusive leadership, her recently completed dissertation values the importance of rooting DEIB work solidly in the mission and identity of our schools.
This session will be of interest to all leadership, faculty and staff across the Provinces who support the mission of Jesuit education.
