Session Type: Roundtable Session
In this symposium, critical educator-researchers of color will explore how teachers and students of color create counter-spaces to foster their well-being and enact their imaginings of education. The presentations will address: 1) how learning with youth can build a paradigm and practice for transformative youth organizing; 2) how educators and youth of color engaging in outdoor education can meet their holistic needs; 3) how educators create spaces where male students can interrogate masculinities and heteronormativity through literacy practices; and 4) how high school teachers create spaces for organizing and building community. Following the presentations, a leading scholar in teacher education will facilitate a dialogue on the possibilities of fostering counter spaces particularly in our current turbulent political and historical moment.
