47.091 - Marking the Invisible: Articulating Whiteness in Social Studies
Sun, April 7, 11:50am to 1:20pm, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Second Floor, Provincial Ballroom NorthSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
In this session, presenters expose whiteness and disrupt white supremacy in the field of social studies education. In this session we further argue for an articulation of whiteness within the field of social studies education in pursuit of directly challenging its influences on teaching, learning, and research. Authors call out the strategies deployed by white supremacy and acknowledge the depths by which it is used to control, manipulate, confine, and define identities, communities, citizenships, and historical narratives. This session promotes the reshaping of social studies education to: support the histories, experiences, and lives of students and teachers of color, challenge settler colonialism and color-evasiveness, develop racial literacy, and promote justice-oriented teaching and learning.
