Voices of Disruption: (Co)Constructing Educational Possibilities Through Intersectional Collaborative Frameworks of Resistance and Imaginings

Fri, April 12, 4:55 to 6:25pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 109B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together six social justice-oriented scholars conducting research in urban schools to discuss how institutionalized, overt, and systemic racial injustices intersect to negatively impact the achievement of students in urban settings. Our work illuminates racial injustices faced by individuals historically marginalized by educational structures, providing concrete recommendations to inform educational beliefs, practices, and policies by foregrounding the voices of students in the (co)construction of educational possibilities. In a collaborative pursuit to democratize the enactments of possibilities of a better educational system, this interactive presentation adds depth and clarity to our collective understanding of inequities plays out in multiple contexts in public education, utilizing the truth-telling power of lived-experience and “freedom dreaming” (Love, 2019, p.101).
