79.020 - Division G Vice-Presidential Session: Educational Research in the Wake: Becoming "Undisciplined" Post-Truth, Post-Trump

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Taking up Sharpe’s (2016) call for new modes of reading and writing the social, or a “new analytic,” this symposium brings together educational researchers who take up “wake work” as a way to embrace more humanizing practices that seek to lessen inequality and improve educational opportunities for diverse student communities. Our collective multimodal narratives seek to build on scholarship that disrupts traditional research practices that are doing violence to our abilities to re/think and re/imagine the ways we teach, learn, live. For us, this means considering how becoming “undisciplined” (Sharpe, 2016) in educational research requires different modes and methods that are not grounded in violence but, rather, in love.
