Session Summary

Explorations of Past and Future: Narrative Spaces of Teaching and Learning

Sat, April 10, 2:30 to 4:00pm EDT (2:30 to 4:00pm EDT), Division B, Division B Section 2 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

The papers in this session explore the role of narrative as a resource for exploring identity and possibility. Narratives frame complex realities according to logics that can hold emancipatory potential. Each paper focuses on a different subject, Chicanx history, addiction in young-adult-literature, and visions for the future in speculative writing. Together they present the potential power of examining, discarding, and rewriting the narratives that students use to make sense of their worlds.
