The Dora Milaje of Black Children in Schools: Black Mother Educators in Pre-K–12 Contexts
Sat, April 23, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Tower, Ground Level, Pacific Ballroom 16Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session, counters the prevailing deficit-based narratives of Black youth in schools by illuminating the teaching practices of Black mother educators. Drawing upon the theoretical frameworks of Beauboeuf-Lafontant (2002), Collins (2009), Crenshaw (1991), and Dillard (2012), this symposium makes a case for centering the voices and experiences of Black women in the protection and educational uplift of Black children. This symposium is a collection of autoethnographic narratives from Black mother educators who work at the intersections of their personal and professional identities to protect Black children in PK-12 contexts.
