Redefining Asian American Success: Kuwentos of Radical Filipinx Pedagogies

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session is composed of scholars and practitioners who embody radical approaches to addressing systemic inequities in education, particularly within the field of Ethnic Studies and Asian American Studies. Papers emphasize the importance of unraveling historical inequities in order to engage in the process of decolonization and collective liberation. We present research and practitioner perspectives on: (1) teaching with a radical Asian American Studies pedagogy; (2) humanizing the experiences of educator activists; (3) cultivating spaces of hope, healing, and community in the classroom; and (4) utilizing kuwentuhan as an act of reclamation and resistance. Collectively, we offer possibilities of what radical Filipinx pedagogies can look like in and beyond the classroom.
