Session Type: Symposium
Audre Lorde (1984) warned of the dangers of “rebuilding the master’s house with the master’s tools.” In educational research, we must resist calls to be more inclusive that reify heteronormativity and white supremacy. Efforts at inclusion often insert mentions of queerness into curricula without considering how educational systems are inherently white supremacist and heteronormative. The themes of remedy and repair call us to re-figure our approaches to research and pedagogy to right historical and contemporary wrongs. We re-orient ourselves epistemologically toward queering educational institutions as a form of praxis to foster anti- oppressive knowledge production. Session authors explore how we re-defined educational scholarship in a nonhierarchical, relationally-oriented, queer research space and began to build a different schoolhouse with transformative, queer tools.
