Remaining Critical in the Midst of (Neo)Colonial Censorship

Sat, April 11, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 308B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session illustrates what enactment of critical pedagogies looks like for educators across the U.S. Each of the five papers centers educators and their experiences to identify strategies necessary to successfully navigate and subvert the dominant powers that aim to undermine teachers’ ability to cultivate critical minds committed to social change.

The first paper explores the personal process of decolonization to inform the development of a culturally sustaining and empowering curriculum. The next two papers use counterstorytelling to illustrate how teachers of color navigate, organize, and resist educational institutions to thrive and enact social justice pedagogies. The final two presentations serve as a comparison of the constraints and affordances of teachers’ experience when in a supportive versus constrained learning environment.
