Embodied Understandings of Media, Selves, and Image in Antiracist Teacher Education

• In Event: Forging Coalitions of Empowerment: Self-Studies Fostering Radical Literacies, Critical Consciousness, and Dialogic Friendships

Abstract

We are three scholars with commitments to anti-racist teaching in schools and higher education. As part of our collaboration, we have been studying how to effectively choose and integrate critical media practices that are explicitly anti-racist. We have also been exploring our personal and identity commitments to this work through self-study methodologies. Our research question for this study was: What does collaborative analysis of narratives of experiences with racism and critical media reveal that will assist us in our shared work with developing instructional practices?
