Georgia Places: Language, Race, and History in Place-Based Georgia Education
Fri, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 102ABSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Interdisciplinary scholars across teacher education, curriculum studies, linguistics, and community organizing gather in this symposium, bound by shared geographic space and time: what is now known as the modern-day North American state of Georgia. When we disconnect the racialized histories of places from educational spaces, we fail to uncover the true roots of inequities and inequalities, allowing them to remain unchanged. Thus, this interactive symposium offers different counternarratives of placed-based work within Georgia and is designed to facilitate collective imaginings and practical steps towards decolonial, reparative, and speculative futures within and beyond the realm of education.
