Building New Worlds: Constructing Supportive Spaces for Historically Marginalized Students and Faculty of Color

Fri, April 10, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: TBD, La Cienega

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session brings together research that centers belonging, identity, and culturally responsive pedagogy among marginalized students and teachers. Presentations utilize lenses such as collective joy, asset-based frameworks, transformative practices, and complex systems to highlight the triumphs, challenges, and nuance within the academic-related experiences of marginalized students and faculty of color. Through these varied lenses, the session highlights how nurturing wholeness, mutual respect, and asset-based perspectives can counter deficit narratives and structural inequities. These studies offer insights for fostering identity-affirming, psychologically safe, and culturally sustaining environments for minoritized students and faculty of color across educational settings.
