Abstract

How do we collaborate in an academy that champions collaboration in principle yet fosters competitive, individualistic approaches to scholarship? The papers in this session offer both examples of successful academic kinship and collaboration while undertaking critical examinations of academic notions such as knowledge, achievement, theory, and curriculum. Our scholarship seeks subversive compliance with academic norms by opting for healing instead of extractive practices. To accomplish this endeavor, we are an interdisciplinary panel from across educational sectors. We draw on theorists such as Karen Barad that ask us to consider the material consequences of academic labor and relationship. In the session, we aim to create and sustain a space of healing as we re-think what curriculum studies and theory can be.
