35.054 - Intersectionality and Social Contexts: What Does It Means to Live at the Intersections?

Sat, April 6, 4:10 to 6:10pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 205B

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

The papers in this session explore how intersectional identities and the sociocultural and contextual conditions of schools relate to educational inequities. Collectively, they examine the complex historical, political, social, and cultural context of schooling and link these complexities to global, local, and individual efforts to meet the needs of intersectional disabled students in schools. The papers raise critical questions about what it means to live at the intersections of labels and identities such as disability, race, immigration, language, gender, to name a few, and how labels serve to exclude and include students in varied social and educational K-16 contexts.
