Advancing the debate: The need for policy-oriented activism research in educational psychology

Educational psychology is embracing the call to engage in more policy-oriented research. This special issue focuses on some of the key scholars in the field that are taking up this charge. Building upon their work, I aim to push the field to go even further, providing suggestions for how to engage in policy-oriented activism research within educational psychology. I also provide recommendations when embarking upon policy-oriented activism research.
