Insisting on Critical Hope: Interrogating School-Based Trauma and Reimagining Liberatory Possibilities

Sun, April 27, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2E

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium serves as an act of critical hope (Duncan-Andrade, 2008; hooks, 2004) towards understanding– and disrupting– trauma in schools. Not the sort of “hokey hope” that reifies fallacious ideas of meritocracy, but transgressive hope that strives to break systems of oppression that produce and reproduce harm. Working across methodologies, this symposium will draw on Critical Race Theory to engage participants in active and ambitious consideration of seeing schools as sites of trauma– and of possibility. We bring together leading scholars across the fields of trauma-informed practice, abolitionist teaching, and multicultural education to explore how we can learn from our past while addressing the crisis of trauma in schools– to dream of liberatory remedies.
