Examining Intersectional Identities, Alterity, and the Interconnectedness of Teaching and Teacher Education Across the Globe

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

How teaching and teacher education are enacted influence the schooling experiences of historically and multiply-marginalized peoples across the globe. This Division K invited session highlights the ideas, experiences, and diverse methodological approaches employed by racialized scholars and practitioners outside of the United States. Collectively, these scholars are situated within and outside of colleges of education and sustains transnational ties across six continents. The panelists employ research agendas that disrupt racial injustice and its intersectionality with other oppressive forces (e.g., ableism, coloniality, patriarchy) to represent the realities of teachers and students too often neglected in discourse of racialized people’s contributions to teaching and teacher education. This session applies a global lens to consider: transnational and transdisciplinary understandings of teaching and teacher education; dismantling linguicide and epistemicide in teacher education to advance Indigenous languages and ways of knowing; disrupting “global north” conceptualizations of neurodiversity; and confronting anti-Blackness as a global phenomenal.
