Teachers of Color Learning, Resisting, and Designing for Equitable Futures
Sun, April 12, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 4th Floor, Diamond 7Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
The papers in this symposium turn to racialized and Indigenous populations of teachers in the U.S. and Mexico to examine how these teachers enact everyday tactics and long-term strategies to cultivate their professional learning, resist unjust conditions, and enact equitable pedagogies. Taken together, these papers speak to the importance of centering teachers of color during this current historical moment and de-centering whiteness in teacher preparation more broadly (Sleeter, 2001). Some papers explore the design of research and support systems with and alongside teachers of color, while others look specifically at how teachers of color agentively and creatively enact resistant pedagogies in opposition to oppressive structures and contexts. Steeped in interdisciplinary theories on learning, “strategies” and “tactics”, brotherhood, and translanguaging.
