Praxis and Pedagogies of Liberation: Resistance and Re-Existence

Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 304B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Recent debates have highlighted the decolonial discourses, histories, and liberatory practices from the Global South silenced within dominant academic spaces in the Global North. These debates suggest a tendency to strip concepts of their political content (e.g., coloniality) by overlooking the sites of struggle (praxis) from which these discourses emerge. This symposium includes contributions situating decolonial thought within struggles for liberation, adopting a relational praxis-oriented mode of theorizing.
Panelists delve into decolonial abolitionist thought, praxis, and pedagogies, decolonial poetics and aesthetics, and research methodologies defying racial capitalism, the Palestinian scholasticide, and sophicide, and the anti-Black and anti-Indigenous violence of colonial schooling. These studies highlight relational modes of thinking, interrogating and unsettling the modern/colonial entanglements that appear natural in the present.
