"There Just Isn't Enough of Me": The Cost of Moral Injury for One Teacher of Color
Educational Forum, v87 n4 p319-333 2023
This article provides an ethnographic accounting of one teacher of color's experience of moral injury by exploring the question: what morally injurious events does Nancy experience, and what are the costs of those injuries? This project used participant observations and interviews to explore the moral injuries encountered. Moral injuries occurred due to a lack of just systems, racial representation, trust, student supports, trauma training, and holistic approaches. Eventually Nancy left the school as a principled leaver.
