Abstract

Black education studies is a distinguishable field in education research, and the current political climate in schools and society demands movement in the field. Using a variety of methodologies and cases (contemporary, historical, ethnographic, theoretical, transnational, etc.), the papers comprising this panel all engage a question that has always cohered black education studies in some way. That is: If antiblackness is foundational to the ideology and structure of education in the modern world, what are the challenges, tensions, and possibilities in the development of equitable educational systems for Black children? And furthermore, as it pertains to practice: How do we simultaneously hold space for building and destroying, given that the systems within which we work have been predicated on black suffering?
