Honoring Black Youth Living: Dismantling Anti-Black Literacy Education Systems and Imagining Futures

Mon, April 25, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Exhibit Hall B

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Researchers theorize Blackness and antiblackness in literacy education and contend with the question: “Can Black youth have life?” From examinations of whiteness in English education, to multimodal renderings centering Black love and creativity, to critical literacy artifacts produced by students in Black English outer spaces, to critical teacher reflections on Counter-fairy tale (CFT) framework, researchers explicitly center Black youths’ literacy brilliances and resistances. Together they share their studies and findings and discuss how their work honors the full humanity of Black youth living.
