The Knee That Started a Movement

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This session addresses a topic that is timely, while historically grounded and relevant through the case of Black student-athlete agency and resistance. In this moment where institutions are proposing to address anti-Blackness and racism, this brings up questions of culpability and responsibility. How education stakeholders respond (or not) stands to impact the experiences of BIPOC students for years to come.
