The Stories We Tell: Theorizing Intersectional Justice in the Context of Working With Marginalized Communities

Thu, April 24, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2G

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Responding to the 2025 AERA call for researchers to include community-held forms of knowledges for equitable education, this symposium brings together a group of interdisciplinary research scholars as they theorize justice at the intersection of race, culture, and disability in working with historically marginalized communities. The purpose is to introduce a collective definition of intersectional justice (IJ) as counter-story and to provide concrete examples of IJ in action. Each paper is focused on research that centers marginalized peoples’ onto-epistemologies, ways of being and knowing, that inform how research can be co-constructed in the ongoing process of theorizing justice. When enacted, IJ is a powerful tool for “education renewal” aiming to disrupt oppression while honoring marginalized perspectives in research.
