Session Type: Symposium
We currently find ourselves in a historical moment in which the powerful seek to erase and silence Blackness. This symposium examines the scholarship of Cynthia Dillard and the concepts she developed, including (re)membering, endarkened feminist epistemology, and research as responsibility, taking note of how these ideas have shifted the landscape of educational research, particularly around Black experiences in education. We also envision how Dillard’s concepts can carry us in this moment and push educational research forward as we continue to resist anti-Blackness and fascism. The papers in this symposium discuss how Dillard’s research concepts have impacted research on K-12 education, teacher education, and higher education.
