Critical Special Education: Reexamination, Reimagination, and Rethinking of Research, Policy, and Practice

Fri, April 25, 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

This structured poster session explores the possibilities of Critical Special Education, an envisaged paradigm in which values of justice, equity, intersectionality, and wellness for individuals and collectives reside as central. Posters within this session examine topics like anti-Blackness and misogynoir in special education, inclusive education, community, revolutionary joy, teacher preparation, disability voice, critical literacy, and technoableism. The session includes an introductory overview with questions for attendees to frame the conversations with poster presenters and a whole group synthesis of insights gleaned and questions raised. These posters exemplify our collective efforts to push the boundaries of collaborative knowledge building, imagine a handbook of Critical Special Education, and help the field to re-examine, re-imagine, and rethink special education research, policy, and practice.
