This paper contributes to scholarship exploring the affective politics of environmental education. Building on Nixon's (2011) conception of slow violence, I argue that the slow violence of ecological destruction presents not only a representational challenge but also a pedagogical one: how to confront violent systems that degrade and harm…

We begin this essay by sharing a bit about our entry points into Black, Indigenous, and Afro-Indigenous feminist solidarities before entering into conversation with Mikki Kendall whose work Hood Feminisms: Notes from the Women that a Movement Forgot inspired the title for this essay and offers important insights for Black and Indigenous feminist…

I position the use of counter-narratives as a critical approach that grants students agency and meaning in their learning and provides teachers with opportunities to present silenced curricular narratives as relevant and necessary in a globalized setting such as North America. Counter-narratives focus on a subject that preserves colonial and…

In this article we examine the "Lotus: Afro-Asian Writings" journal as an insurgent space that reflected Afro-Asian solidarity. We argue that Lotus constituted "infrastructures of dissent" and "infrastructures of solidarity" which were constructed between different anti-colonial movements. Though "Lotus" was…

This coauthored article is about building solidarity on Canadian university campuses. We construct a narrative in two registers--one justified left, one justified right--that traces our activism within and beyond the university and how our own solidarity has grown over time and informs our current research collaboration. On the one (left) hand, we…

The article is meant to be a discursive libationary tribute to Audre Lorde's theorizing on Black women's survival. An example of Taliaferro-Baszile's critical race/feminist currere and Pinar's curriculum as complicated conversation, the article brings together Lorde's voice with those of other Black women to analyze my past, present, and future. I…

This article draws from a two-year youth-informed, multi-site ethnographic study, in which interracial anti-racist youth activist groups (IAYAG) amplified their own pedagogical leadership in their schools. The demand for curricular relevance in urban schools is at an all-time high, and the work of youth organizers is in direct opposition to a…

Birzeit University (BZU)--established in 1924 by the Nasir family--was born out of struggle and developed as a microcosm of the Palestinian national movement against the Zionist settler colonial state of Israel. This article explores specific moments of solidarity with BZU and beyond. I map out a genealogy of three modes of solidarity with…

Dialogue is a category that is central to politics, media, and education, and yet in all of these domains it can be confusing and ambiguous. Starting from a critical framework built on the work of educational philosopher Paulo Freire, we undertake an inquiry into the meaning of dialogical intersubjectivity and its political determinations, with a…

We are four racialized diasporic Muslim women living on Turtle Island, with roots spanning India, Palestine, Panama, Trinidad, Malaysia, and beyond. We have been involved in activism and organizing, including with and for Muslim communities, for more than five decades combined. Our conversations and correspondence about Muslim pedagogies of…

Still, Nobody Mean More explores how Black youth constructed as queer subjects by state apparatuses and sociocultural institutions encounter, survive, and resist premature death. Engaging with women and queer of color theories this paper interrogates how the queerness of Blackness works to erase certain subjects from contemporary political…

Philadelphia's teacher-led activist group, the Caucus of Working Educators, has displayed shifts in how it frames the central problems facing public education since its emergence in 2014.

This article pays tribute to Allan Luke's work as a pedagogical gift. His ability to bring sociological theories of power, identity and the body to bear on conceptualizing critical literacy is a gift. His research with indigenous populations, and his writing on inclusive curriculum, genres of power and double consciousness resonate in South Africa…
