Meira Levinson

Meira Levinson is a professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) and the founder and faculty director of the EdEthics/Justice in Schools initiative at HGSE. She is a normative political philosopher who works at the intersection of civic education, youth empowerment, racial justice, and educational ethics. In doing so, she draws upon scholarship from multiple disciplines as well as her eight years of experience teaching middle school (13-15 year-olds) in the Atlanta and Boston Public Schools. She is currently working to start a global field of educational ethics, modeled in some ways after bioethics, that is philosophically rigorous, disciplinarily and experientially inclusive, and both relevant to and informed by educational policy and practice. Her full faculty bio is available here.

Levinson has published six books:
