Session Type: Roundtable Session
Coloniality is alive in structures of school, in criteria for academic success, in common sense, in legitimized cultural capital, in self-image, self-aspirations and numerous other aspects of an individual’s life and worldview. Dismemberment projects of coloniality privileges the ontologies and epistemologies of Western knowledge systems. This symposium brings attention to recovering racial and ethnic heritage, relationships and collectivity. It is guided by the question: What are the possibilities and practices of re-membering pedagogy towards renewing community and collectivity? The session significantly theorizes re-membering as a critical intervention to the coloniality of education that has the potential to remedy and repair toward just education futures.
