Curriculum as Ceremony: Storying Memory, Resistance, and Liberatory Futures

Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Petree D

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session brings together scholars who engage curriculum as a site of memory, love, and liberation. Across four studies, presenters use currere, storywork, and critical autoethnography to examine how educators and communities resist carceral logics and reclaim ancestral knowledge. Papers trace genealogies of schooling and imprisonment, illuminate (re)membering as counter-curriculum amid repression, and honor pedagogies of love, ritual, and rebirth rooted in cultural memory. Together, these works center storytelling as a sacred, decolonial act—one that transforms wounds into wisdom and maps pathways from containment toward collective liberation and curricular healing.
