Imagining Black Worlds: Emphasizing Black Methodologies in Reparative Educational Inquiry

Sat, April 26, 1:30 to 3:00pm MDT (1:30 to 3:00pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2A

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Historically, methodological perspectives that systematically and strategically center Black knowledge systems exist on the peripheries of educational research, suggesting the devaluation of Black methodologies and epistemologies in the larger academic canon. The exclusion has led to this curated poster session, which seeks to remedy and repair these omissions by foregrounding Black approaches to qualitative research. Featuring diverse scholars employing Black methodologies in their research, this session consists of nine posters addressing central questions posed by Katherine McKittrick about the need to imagine Black scientific knowledge as integral to the anticolonial project. In centering this line of inquiry, this session aims to forge deeper connections across Black epistemologies as a way to reclaim, heal, and transform the project of research.
