Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposia examines and highlights the befores, durings, and afters of educational justice work in the current federal anti-DEI political landscape. With research taking place in Evanston, IL, the papers of this symposia describe the vast educational struggles taken up by Black community members and their collaborators. Throughfive interrelated papers, we explore how Black educators, community members, and researchers respond to rupture and continue to sustain educational justice work through relationships and shared values. Projects span Black-affirming curriculum, STEM ecosystems, mentorship models, and university-community partnerships. Together, we ask: What allows educational justice to persist in the face of unjust policy? We share implications to the broader field of education about sustainability, relationships, and the future of education.
