46.024 - Creating Spaces to Transform Social Justice Dissertation Research Into Teaching Practice

Sat, April 18, 8:15 to 9:45am, Hyatt, Floor: West Tower - Gold Level, New Orleans

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This interactive symposium brings together a group of practitioner researchers to explore ways to create spaces to transform social justice dissertation research into teaching practice as they live contested lives in schools, families, and communities in the U. S. South. Through visual, graphic, and multimedia presentations, reader’s theater, drama, and performance, these researchers demonstrate how their dissertation inquiries are infiltrating their daily teaching practices and how curriculum theory allows the noise/interruptions engendered from their personal lives and their teaching practice to challenge standardized and commodified curriculum, advocate for “disenfranchised, underrepresented, and invisible groups, and individuals, and create “spaces of transformation” to foster positive social and educational change. The potentials, challenges, and future directions of social justice inquiries are also explored.
