Session Summary

18.040 - The Role of Mapping Methodologies to Disrupt Neoliberalism and Injustices at the Intersections of Ableism and Racism

Fri, April 5, 2:25 to 3:55pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 700 Level, Room 715A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The papers in this session use innovative theoretical and methodological conceptualizations of mapping to (a) investigate the relationship between the (re)production of disabling and racialized spaces in a context of neoliberalism; (b) examine the role of multiple mapping methodologies, beyond GIS, to disrupt unjust geographies. It resists a post-truth paradigm by recognizing how ideologies in a neoliberal era masquerade as truth while being imbued with intersecting oppressions. Consequently, this symposium provides a multiscalar spatial analysis at the intersections of race, disability, and class while attending to the temporal and socio-spatial contexts which infuse education injustice and resistance today.
