#ICLS2020 @profnai asks how we bring and/or develop theoretical perspectives about racism, and about power in LS - i love it
#ICLS2020 @profnai points out how we bracket off "learning" from issues of race, gender, and other systems of power
#ICLS2020 @sepehrvakil points out that "positivism" has traditionally excluded "the political". My note: it's ironic what positivism has become, as Comte's positivism was all about social science's relationship to the state. Something I've been thinking about.
#ICLS2020 @sepehrvakil argues for engagement with small-p political / justice issues that is rigorous, and says that the field is ready
#ICLS2020 @pratim says we need solidarity to do this sort of work. Says his talk will be "not nice".
My body is ready for "not nice."
My body is ready for "not nice."
#ICLS2020 @pratim says the learning sciences enables subjugation via construction of disciplinarily - closed learning environments enable racialization, oppression, etc. (I missed a lot of truth-to-power speaking in my transcription)
#ICLS2020 I'm doing a terrible job capturing all this, but @pratim is pointing out the ways that we in the learning sciences are complicit in reifying structures of oppression.
#ICLS2020 "The dangerous and imperialist enterprise of creating a dictionary of the learning sciences needs to stop now." @pratim says we need to recognize the violences that we do on the young
#ICLS2020 Nzinga - all futures are imagined. As we are conversations about how we implement those values, we need many voices to be includes. Nas' "If I ruled the world" is being quoted.
#ICLS2020 Nzinga - What are the conceptual resources that we bring to ethical enterprise? How are we limiting children's moral imaginations? What traditions and models did pre-colonial societies bring to systems of justice and reconciliation?
#ICLS2020 @quasiWOKE is asking us to question the ethical concepts we hold dear, and examine them alongside ethical traditions that have historically been marginalized (examples of African cultures marginalized & excluded from school curricula)
#ICLS2020 @quasiwoke has dropped an incredible number of references to cultural practices of west (and central?) Africa societies around education, justice, ethics, etc. Same with scholars. I hope this session is recorded (to pause and investigate later on).
