Unforgetting the Past, Disrupting the Present: Border-Crossing Approaches to Inclusive Education Policy, Research, and Practice

Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum J

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium features papers that interrogate racial, linguistic, dis/ability, institutional, ideological, and affective borders that shape access, relationships, and learning. Grounded in critical race and sociocultural theories, equity-based inclusive education, critical disability and affect studies, feminista praxis, sociolinguistics, and critical border studies, the session examines how historical exclusions persist across policy, discourse, and practice. By tracing how systemic, affective, ableist, racialized, and discursive mechanisms marginalize multiply identified students, the papers illuminate enduring legacies of exclusion and the urgent need for border-crossing approaches to inclusive education. Spanning identity, classroom practice, family-school discourse, and policy analysis, the symposium offers conceptual and methodological tools to unforget silenced histories and intervene in the present — laying the groundwork for more just, pluralistic educational futures.
