Reimagining Diversity, Equity, and Justice in Early Childhood
Fri, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 10Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Dismantling racial injustices requires an intentional divestment from white privilege and an investment in educational opportunities, policies, and curricula that support communities of Color. Drawing from an edited collection of early childhood scholars/activists/educators, this session engages participants in sustained, collaborative conversations that gesture towards remaking and revisioning four focus areas: literacies, methodologies, intergenerational relationships, and community spaces that foster equitable, inclusive, and more just early childhood communities. Intended to destabilize the theory/practice divide, the session features responses from early childhood teachers of Color alongside facilitated dialogues with contributors to the volume. We aim to move out of the “halls of academia” (AERA 2024 call) and collaboratively ideate towards collective liberation.
