Liberating the Dissemination of Knowledge

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Brief Description

What does "liberation" mean when it comes to disseminating knowledge? Four early-career scholars will discuss the ways they are experimenting with form in writing, teaching, and public memory. From “braided writing,” to pedagogies of liberation, to the liberated use of research within one’s teaching, to the development of a new museum of opposition and resistance, this roundtable will open up opportunities for scholars from multiple disciplines to discuss ways to go about disseminating knowledge by stepping outside the boxes of the ongoing restraint of disciplinary expectations in an age of social media, rampant misinformation, and shortened attention spans.
