Liberation as Political Imperative: Toward the Conceptualization of Ethnic Studies Education

Fri, April 12, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 118C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

We are amidst intensified national debates over Ethnic Studies, what it constitutes, its value, its legality, and how to implement it in the P–20 continuum. In this session, long-time Ethnic Studies advocates conceptualize “Ethnic Studies Education” as a strategic intervention to embolden Education scholars to pursue critical, life-affirming work that guides and supports contemporary Ethnic Studies activism. Panelists will address how Ethnic Studies Education can better achieve the emancipatory potential of education and lay out for AERA attendees what Ethnic Studies educators teach, how we prepare Ethnic Studies teachers, how educational leaders can support Ethnic Studies teachers and students, and the role of activism and research to galvanize widespread community support for and engagement in Ethnic Studies.
