Critical Epistemologies and Methodologies: Reclaiming Knowledge, Story, and Belonging Across Educational Spaces

Wed, April 8, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 306B

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This paper session brings together scholars whose work interrogates and reimagines the racialized, gendered, and colonial logics that structure knowledge production and belonging in education. Grounded in critical epistemologies and methodologies—including critical quantitative inquiry, Black feminist thought, Indigenous frameworks, and digital counterstorytelling—the presenters examine how scholars and students of color navigate, resist, and transform academic spaces. Together, these studies illuminate how liberatory approaches to knowledge and methodology can reclaim emotion, story, and collectivity as valid and vital forms of inquiry. The panel collectively calls for the re-centering of historically marginalized epistemologies to advance equity, relational accountability, and transformative belonging across institutions and communities.
