"What's Disability Got to Do With It?" Social Contexts of Education and Its Intersectionalities

Mon, April 20, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel foregrounds the centrality of an intersectional and enmeshed disability studies as an analytical framework in social contexts of education. The authors note that there has been a paucity of articles in educational studies/educational foundations and cultural studies in education that engage critical disability studies. This has occurred despite the fact that disability, as a pivotal analytic, is deployed in educational contacts to often simultaneously disrupt and reproduce the everyday workings of the State that is anti-black, anti-Indigenous, anti-immigrant, anti-queer, anti-poor, and also anti-disability. This panel centers disability as a critical analytic to expose its erasure and invisibility of disability at its intersections within these everyday workings of education.
