Muted Dialogue: Education Liberation Through Critical Ethnographic Case Study

• In Event: Saturday Roundtable Session 9:45 am
  In Roundtable Session: Racializing Nations, Internationalizing Race (Table 33)

Abstract

Muted dialogue is the undergirding conversation that is had by minoritized groundworkers who do not often get the chance to speak their truths to the whole. This conversation provides a rarely revealed perspective that is often unheard during system-organizing conversations but supports systems in not straying too far from real race work. Restorative practices grounded by race research with people who are willing to do the work in transparent and honest ways is a step in the direction of imagining schools beyond the racially segregated spaces that schools currently reside in.
