The Sankofa Research Intensive (SRI): A Fugitive Space for Scholars Centering Black Children In Research
Fri, April 10, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 403BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The Sankofa Research Intensive is a divergence from what typically occurs in colleges of education. SRI is a home space, a site of resistance to the violence of pervasive whiteness (hooks, 1992; Love, 2019), a necessary construction of community and care. Negotiating politics rooted in anti-Black racism can prove challenging and demoralizing for students and faculty committed to liberatory and culturally responsive research for Black communities (Dumas, 2016; Kynard, 2013). SRI is a space to escape the perils of anti-Blackness embedded in every institutional experience we have had in schooling spaces. The papers offered in this symposium delineate the mechanics, magic, and material outcomes that resulted from this fugitive space created for scholars daring to center Black people in Educational research.
