Curriculum and Pedagogy Conference, McAllen, Texas

This symposium engages feminist and queer autoethnographic scholarship to examine various issues arising within second wave critical whiteness studies. Engaging recent literature articulating “race-conscientizing teacher education,” we center gender, bodies, and affect and employ decolonial and postcolonial scholars to root the theory and practice of critical whiteness studies in the body (versus the mind). Together, we theorize: white femininity problematic alliance with white heteropatriarchy in interpersonal spaces; the gendered and affective dimensions of the teacher strike wave; the problems, possibilities, and impacts of white women’s affect; and, the differential dangers in antiracist pedagogies experienced by women, especially women of color.

In this paper, we consider ways that teaching consists in overseeing or handling memories, in a conversation between curriculum theories, teachers’ voices, philosophies of education and postcolonial thought.
