Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This presidential session has gathered dynamic emerging and seasoned Black women scholars to speak on the work that is needed. Work that entails dismantling teacher implicit biases that police Black girls and funnels them into the school-to-prison pipeline. Work that recenters Black women’s writings/literacies as political, raced and gendered acts of resistance and restoration. This session asked the question, “How are Black women and girls doing in these united states” and troubles the perception that Black women and girls are doing well despite endemic racist, gendered, and structural impediment in their paths.
