Contemplating Contextualized Decolonization, Intersectionality, and Antiracism: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (U.S.); Hopi Country; and New Zealand Perspectives

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposia Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) living complex intersectionalities (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, tribal affiliation, language, class) in California, Indiana, Arizona, and Auckland, New Zealand; demonstrate taking responsibility for education with context specific research experiences applying decolonization, intersectionality, and anti-racism from within specific educational contexts. Presented as a symposium highlighting participants’ educational perspectives, the session intends to propel scholars and participants toward common unifying understandings of decolonization, intersectionality, and anti-racism. Thus, the symposium may serve as a model for ways in which intentionally interfacing complementary perspectives and contexts can provide deeper understanding for problem resolution across disciplines, sectors, and potentially countries toward a greater good. Models and implications for new futures will be offered.
