Praxis for Racial Justice: Undergraduates as Activists and Engaged Scholars

Thu, April 11, 4:20 to 5:50pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Room 415

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium reports on the work and learning from undergraduate researchers who are part of an interdisciplinary Education Studies major at a Liberal Arts College in the Northeast. The session aims to: highlight the range and variation of undergraduate praxis work centering race and racial justice; identify what undergraduates grappled with and learned from their praxis projects in terms of positionality, racial justice, and social change; and surface the synergies across the praxis projects -- in terms of research methodologies, conceptual framing, relational practices, and theories of inequality, positionality, and change. The session aims to surface insights and questions about reimagining a college major and student learning for racial justice.
