Equity-Focused Scholarship as Emancipatory and Liberatory Advocacy for Women of Color in Academia

Thu, April 21, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), Committee on Scholars of Color in Education Virtual Rooms, Committee on Scholars of Color in Education Virtual Paper Session Room

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

When women of color (WoC) scholars choose equity focused, social justice oriented scholarship we do so as a liberatory, emancipatory endeavor to remedy prior injustices, bias, or harm we’ve witnessed or experienced ourselves and advocate for those who come after us. Scholars at various academic stages (tenured/untenured faculty, grad students) will present research on diverse populations (refugee scholars, first generation community college students, Black teachers, faculty of color, bilingual learners). Research findings and unique divergent narratives across disciplines (antiracism, bilingual, special education, counseling) will be reviewed through a filter that demonstrates how WoC are uniquely positioned to frame problems and solutions for the populations and communities they serve.
