Archive to Unforget: Educational Geographies of Remembering, Reclaiming & the Recovery of Our Collective Memory

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

We are bringing together perspectives from teachers, youth, the built environment and pedagogical exercise to understand the process of tethering education's contributions to collective memory and resisting erasure through the displacement of Black epistemologies. Engaging intersections of Black geographies and Dr. Dillard’s (re)membering framework, embracing pedagogies, and methodologies; deepening educational engagement and technologies that facilitate the process of knowledge cultivation and actualization. Therefore, we aim to detail these mechanisms across spatial contexts and detail opportunities to bridge learning opportunities with resistance grounded in and by place. Context specific knowledge offers unique insights into the ways we can unforget the past work and mechanisms youth, educators and communities use as a process to embrace our collective past and futures.
