Decolonial Mapmaking: Critical Methodologies Contextualizing Disruption, Refusal, and Relationality

Sat, April 18, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session offers an interdisciplinary panel of scholars working to decolonize methodological approaches and make visible silenced geographies and narratives of non-dominant populations in education. These scholars reckon with power, subjectivity and relationship as central to the research process and thus, employ a diverse set of methodologies to map alternate geographies of knowing, being and living in targeted spaces, places and bodies. This session begins to address the following questions: What do Western conceptions of mapping make visible and what does this practice obscure? How does our understanding of mapping shift when we recognize non-western forms of knowledge production in coming to know a place?
