Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The erasure of Black, Indigenous, Latine and other communities of color has long Archives as resistance is also a practice of memory work. At a time when critical race theory and ethnic studies courses are being banned across the country, archives become spaces of tension that we can leverage for liberatory purposes. Through specific approaches of documenting through photo, oral history, video, and other forms of media, we seek to disrupt and reimagine what could exist and be in the physical and digital archive as well as critical educational spaces within and beyond the classroom.
