Spinning in Circles or Driving Change: The Possibilities and Constraints of Racialized Change and Learning
Fri, April 25, 1:30 to 3:00pm MDT (1:30 to 3:00pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 404Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
The five empirical papers in this symposium examine various stages of educational racial equity work, including: (1) how organizations conceptualize and frame race/racism and equity, (2) the extent to which the racialized organizational contexts of schools, districts, and teacher education programs enable and/or inhibit the enactment of these espoused commitments, and (3) the political strategies individuals and organizations employ to push back against these racialized contexts. Together, this symposium will advance the fields’ understandings of the possibilities and constraints of working towards racial equity within diverse schooling settings within the current US political context. The symposium holds implications for leading racialized organizational change and learning in the context of a persistently racialized society.
