Session Summary

Fashioning New Grammars: Black Survival, Critical Educative Spaces, and Knowledge Production

Mon, April 20, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The scholars on this panel collectively leverage a “future-oriented historiography” (Kelley, 2018), as cited in this year’s call for submission, towards educational theorizing and practice that addresses educational inequities and invisibility, while seeing layers within dilemmas faced by Black youth, educators, and organizers traversing (formal and informal) educational spaces. Building upon and expanding a radical Black feminist, BlackCrit, anticolonial tradition, the participants in this panel propose new grammar, pedagogies, and modalities for seeing, framing, and envisioning Blackness’ relationship to educational institutions while centering Black knowledge production.
