Black and Indigenous Histories of Education conference
September 9
Supported by a Glasscock Symposium and Small Conference Grant
Featured scholars will discuss the methodological challenges they encounter in their work with Black and Indigenous communities across two nations, underlining the importance of transparent reflexivity in evidence collection and analysis. Examining how they use, develop, and reconcile oral history methodology and written records to study their respective home communities, these historians will demonstrate how reflexivity can foster more nuanced examinations of structurally subjugated people’s past and forecast a more just future.
Free & Open to the public
