64.041 - Division G Fireside Chat. Resisting the Academy: Transformative Approaches to Humanizing Research and Scholarship

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Many members of historically oppressed and minoritized groups often enter the academy with radical, brave, and visionary hopes of unraveling and transforming systemic oppression. However, the labor of challenging the dehumanizing roots of academic institutions often comes with significant physical, psychological, and emotional cost. This fireside chat session pushes back on dehumanizing experiences in academia by creating a space for scholars to share the ways in which they disrupt hegemonic and oppressive research frameworks. Panelists and attendees will discuss methods, theories, and pedagogies that have the potential to humanize academic life and offer new frames of approaching educational research. This interactive discussion will allow panelists to share their research, answer questions, and participate in discourse with participants.
