34.038 - Challenging Post-Truth Rhetoric Through Decolonial Frameworks: Learning From Participatory, Ethnographic, and Narrative Research in Education

Sat, April 6, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine Level, Saskatchewan

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel session draws on three epistemic and empirical experiences framed under visual participatory, ethnographic, and narrative approaches to explore Indigenous peoples’ experiences that look at participatory and decolonial relations as point of entry to challenge post-truth ideologies. Community becomes the centre of decolonial relations, participatory voices, emotions and care for others as opposed to older neo-conservative values, anti-human educational policies. The decolonial framework requires alternative approaches to study the long history of colonization that lead to the educational inequities of today such discriminatory and exclusionary acts based on race and language. This panel argues that decolonial frameworks help educational researchers transcend academic and political discourse; it urges disruption of deficit views of societies, knowledges, languages.
