Reimagining Intellectualism: Challenging Academia to Sustain Pluralistic Productions of Knowledge

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

In reimagining dominant Western academic paradigms which continue to center Eurocentric ways of knowing and being, this panel seeks to disrupt whose knowledges are valued, shared, and storied within curriculum studies and educational research broadly. To examine this, four panelists of color make the crucial move to refuse monolithic representations of historically marginalized youth and themselves by centering pluralistic productions of knowledge through multiple literacies and the arts in the storying of their research.
