Abstract

This symposium examines evasion pedagogies (Authors, Under Review) and/or their disruption in K-12 classrooms and pre-service teacher education. The conceptualization of evasion pedagogies grew out of the studies shared in this symposium where operationalizations of teaching and learning were largely that of surveillance and compliance. We argue that evasion pedagogies, drawing off of the notion of color-evasiveness (Annamma et al., 2017), work to evade responsibility for solving fundamental problems of inequity in our schools and society through the project of teaching and learning. Thus, evasion pedagogies serve to sustain the status quo and are powerful tools to maintain oppressive projects like white supremacy, heteronormativity, gender binaries, patriarchy, ableism and classism, often under the cover of the institution of schooling.
