The Critical Importance of Race and Racialization When Considering How People Learn, What Should Be Taught and By Whom, and to What Ends
Sun, April 6, 8:15 to 9:45am, Convention Center, Floor: 200 Level, 204CSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The 2014 annual conference’s call for submissions highlights that questions about “how people learn, what should be taught and by whom, and to what ends remain at the core of our field.” Building on these significant areas of inquiry, this symposium brings together a group of educational researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to consider the critical salience of and notable silences about race and racialization in examining this set of core questions that define our field. By facilitating a space to explore the convergences and divergences in these questions at the level of classrooms, teachers, curricula, and ideologies, this symposium makes a significant contribution to scholarship on the intersection of learning and racialization.
