Storying Just Futures: Emancipatory Analyses of Representations of People Who Sought Refuge

Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 110B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Fundamental differences exist between the ways in which family/diaspora storying represents nations and people impacted by forced displacement, and stories that are produced for mass consumption. Framed by critical race theory and in conversation with critical refugee studies, this symposium presents emancipatory analyses of representations of people who have sought refuge, collectively asking, “What stories generate just futures? Who tells those stories, for whom, how, and with what purposes?”, drawing pedagogical implications and exploring the possibilities of storying as a catalyst for transformative educational change.
