29.023 - (De)Colonial Research: Space, Place, Memory, and Bodies in Un"settling" Narratives of Educational Opportunity

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Considering the need for scholarship that unsettles neoliberal notions of unequal educational opportunities we ask ourselves what it means to think about (de)colonial work in the academy. This session considers both the “places” of curriculum and how de(colonial) analytics may (re)frame debates concerning commonsensical notions of educational opportunity. Further, this session examines what it means to attend to colonial entanglements and transmutations in varied educational contexts, and from diverse theoretical/methodological standpoints, in the production of academic research. Each paper engages the critical question of what it means to think about (de)colonial work in the academy considering the limitations and reproductive function of academe.
