Critiques for Transformation: Reimagining Colleges and Communities for Social Justice

Sat, April 15, 8:00 to 9:30am CDT (8:00 to 9:30am CDT), Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, Floor: Level 2, Erie

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Bringing together papers from an upcoming edited volume, authors will collectively dream about the role of critical scholarship in liberatory futures and the potential role of scholars, students, administrators, and policymakers in the face of attacks on anti-racist thinking and learning. These chapters--which (re)imagine practice from the micro (classroom) to the macro (legislation) in higher education--are united by their use of critical theories to expand the scope of possibility in the postsecondary endeavor. Authors will think together, across domains of practice, about the utility of critical theories as analytic tools that prompt us to “ask different, and perhaps better questions” (Patel, 2021, p. 7), and the urgency of resisting anti-equity proponents’ work to obscure them.
