The Miseducation of Curriculum: Schooling and #BlackLivesMatter

Mon, April 16, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, Floor: Third Floor, Room 3.11

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Grounded in Woodson’s notion that there would be “no lynching if it did not start in the school room,” scholars on this panel argue that schooling, and to some degree all those involved in the schooling process, is responsible for the broader sociocultural norms and values that allow the everyday violence against people of color in the United States. More specifically, contributors utilize understandings in contemporary curriculum theory and its antecedents in order to conceptualize how curriculum studies can explicitly attend to raced and racist educational ideas and ideals while actively resisting the socoicultural norms and values that renders such racism sensible.
