Race(ing) towards futurity: Black and Latinx youths’ multimodal representations of future selves and literacies
Fri, November 30, 8:30 to 10:00am, Renaissance Indian Wells, Floor: Terrace Level, Valencia 1Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
Framed by Critical Race Theory and multimodality, our symposium examines how Black and Latinx youth imagine future selves through an array of multimodal representations (e.g., digital collages, portraits, drawings). We seek to: 1) illuminate the multiple spaces and media where Black and Brown youths author their future selves from a place of critical awareness, agency, and activism and 2) center the ways in which these youths contest racist narratives and reclaim their futures with possibilities.
