Description: 

In the current political context, pressures to erase marginalized histories and to ban the teaching of colonial, racialized, gendered, and classed histories—and their profound legacies and ongoing consequences—continue to mount. This session invites critical pedagogical interventions, analytical works, and case studies that center reparations as an ongoing political and practical necessity for reckoning with and addressing the impacts of historical and systemic harms.
