The Making of (Non)Citizens: Exploring Race, Citizenship, Education, and the Law

Sun, April 10, 8:15 to 10:15am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Liberty Salon M

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel investigates how educational spaces employ and secure regulatory technologies where marginalized citizens are Othered and erased through the production and juxtaposition of the normal and ideal. We attend to these categories of difference in the physical and imagined spaces of policy documents, legal cases, media campaigns, and autoethnographies. The papers illustrate how discourses of exceptionalism and normalcy mask racialized violence and geopolitical dynamics, and how centering erased narratives unsettles this logic. Rather than starting from pre-given categories of difference, our papers trace the making of such categories and their material consequences, as well as modes by which they are contested, transgressed, and transformed.
