43.020 - Women of Color Modalities of Meaning-Making: Endarkened Feminist Knowledge Production in Education

Sun, April 7, 8:00 to 9:30am, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 700 Level, Room 706

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores the various literacies, knowledges, and ways of knowing that women and girls of color employ in their everyday lives. These modes of knowledge-production are rooted in the body, relationships, creativity, culture, and care-- all of which are important resources for meaning making. At the same time, they are too often ignored, erased, and/or maligned in formal educational spaces. As such, panelists will discuss how they have drawn on their own raced-gendered ways of knowing to re-center, re-imagine, and re-envision approaches to research and practices of teaching and learning in the field.
