"As We Have Always Done": Resurgence, Resistance, and Fostering Educational Lifeways for Collective Liberation

Sat, April 10, 4:10 to 5:40pm EDT (4:10 to 5:40pm EDT), Division G, Division G - Section 5 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together educational scholars who examine how communities of color “have always done” education. The panel moves to critically accept responsibility for our respective communities’ educational lifeways, as called for by Simpson (2017), and culturally sustaining/revitalizing educators (Paris & Alim, 2017). We interrogate how “schooling” has operated as a racial capitalist, settler colonial, cisheteropatriarchal, and ableist project inescapably situated within the United States through European-rooted traditions of teaching, learning, knowing and being. This symposium offers research on how education has operated as a social process outside of the White and hegemonic gazes. We examine what it means to sustain, revitalize, and foster educational lifeways for liberation as we seek futures past U.S. state-sanctioned schooling.
