Disabled Youth’s Cultural Ways of Being, Knowing, and Doing in Education: Implications and Strategies

Thu, April 24, 3:35 to 5:05pm MDT (3:35 to 5:05pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 201

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Responding to the 2025 AERA call for researchers “to produce relevant and rigorous research that can repair past harm and renew more just and inclusive present and future educational possibilities,” this symposium brings together interdisciplinary research scholars committed to centering disabled youth’s onto-epistemologies and methodologies (i.e., cultural ways of being, knowing, and doing) in educational research and practice for the purpose of creating just and desired futures. Each paper aims to dismantle dominant-white hegemony and oppression impacting disabled youth at the intersections of multiple non-dominant identity markers (e.g., race, language) and to honor disability as a part of human variance. Accordingly, research presented frames innovative student-centered and -driven strategies that contribute to educational realities that center and sustain their identities.
