The Personal as Political, and Pedagogical: Currere as Foundational Research Praxis

Sat, April 26, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3G

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Currere comes from the Latin infinitive for curriculum: “to run the course…The method of currere is a strategy devised to disclose experience, so that we may see more of it and see more clearly.” (Pinar, 1995, p.518). Recognizing the need for intersectional analysis in curriculum inquiry, scholar Denise Taliaferro-Baszile extends this approach with critical race/feminist currere, arguing “all work is autobiographical” (2015). From arts-based methods, to ethnography, to historical methods, we recognize the power of the self and of narratives of knowing and building as instrumental to our work. Each of the panelists engages in curriculum inquiry starting from a critical space of the self in order to explore questions of race, class, gender, sexuality, location, gentrification, and coloniality.
