Session Type: Symposium
This session explores what can be learned from children's voices and how the methods or methodologies we engage support the cultivation of "what" we actually learn. In privileging the perspective of Black children, a population whose voice is marginalized as per their race and their youth, panelists will not only examine how Black children’s voices evidence the limits and possibilities of public education across historical time and distinct educational spaces (i.e., charter schools, alternative schools, suburban schools, Afro-centric schools) but to explore disciplined, nuanced, and innovative methods by which Black children’s voices might be distinctly and profoundly captured. Methods explored include ethnography, and ethnohistorical methods.
