Cultivating Emancipatory Practices

This session will explore the ways in which scholars can cultivate emancipatory practices in their research and teaching from the beginnings of their careers. Participants will discuss strategies for flipping the classroom, integrating critical pedagogies, and fostering inclusive, equitable learning environments that challenge traditional power dynamics. Topics may include: Decolonial and anti-racist methodologies, Feminist and queer approaches to scholarship, Liberatory pedagogy and classroom praxis, and more ethical engagement with community partners. The session aims to provide a space for critical reflection and the sharing of practices that challenge the status quo and work towards social justice. Early career scholars and graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate.
