Preserving Spirit and Self: Narratives of Black Educational Renewal

Sat, April 11, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum G

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This paper session explores how Black educators, students, and communities across diasporic contexts preserve spirit, knowledge, and identity while navigating educational systems that often render them invisible. Through four interlinked papers, the session examines renewal through remembrance, cultural knowledge, and self-definition. Together, these narratives illuminate how “unforgetting” histories shapes liberatory pedagogies and reimagine education as a site of healing, belonging, and transformation for Black learners across the Caribbean, Africa, and their diasporas.
