Threaded through musical tracks, Black Boy Joy is conceptualized as a Black spiritual Life Force and a liberatory emotional expression that refuses the anti-Black curriculum antagonizing Black boys. Black Boy Joy centers Black joy through desire-based refusal and reclaims Black subjectivities and futures through Black aesthetics. Black Boy Joy is the quotidian refusal to stay in one's designated \"place\" and provides a space that gives Black boys futures that they want now through Black liberatory fantasy. Through fantasies and desires, I demonstrate how vital improvisation and dissonance is to creating Black liberated futures. Through the good mess of jazz improvisation, I invite the audience to (re)imagine, (re)explore, and linger with these concepts within a musical Black Study.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":"51 1","pages":"118 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03626784.2020.1838231","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46965311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by Christina Sharpe’s treatise In the Wake: On Blackness and Being, we will engage with the difficult questions of what it means to be curriculum theorists inculcated into whiteness and settlement. Pivoting Cheryl Harris’s renowned assertion that whiteness is property, we consider that whiteness may instead possess us. We draw upon Black and Indigenous brilliance to call for the death of whiteness, proposing that this act is necessary and the only way scholars and educators inscribed in whiteness can possibly imagine playing any positive role in liberation struggles. People are dying, and we either continue being part of the systems that delight in killing, or we take seriously the reordering of our own Being. We do so while being answerable to and in relation with Black studies. To initiate this ontological destruction, we write from the position of the s + cyborg in order to dissociate ourselves from our embodied whiteness. We invite white readers to join us as ghosts in the machine that short-circuit the currents of the wake. To this end, we provoke readers with a prescriptive curriculum towards killing whiteness. While whiteness is under destruction, we call for a turn towards speculative imaginings and futurisms that could envision a curriculum, a way of Being after whiteness.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":"51 1","pages":"161 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03626784.2020.1813001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46903850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article, written collaboratively by an education scholar and a drag queen involved in organizing DQSH, contextualizes the programme within the landscape of gender in education as well as within the world of drag, and argues that Drag Queen Story Hour provides a generative extension of queer pedagogy into the world of early childhood education. Drawing on the work of José Esteban Muñoz, the authors discuss five interrelated elements of DQSH that offer early childhood educators a way into a sense of queer imagination: play as praxis, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance, destigmatization of shame, and embodied kinship. Ultimately, the authors propose that “drag pedagogy” provides a performative approach to queer pedagogy that is not simply about LGBT lives, but living queerly.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":"50 1","pages":"440 - 461"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03626784.2020.1864621","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42480983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Re-imagining difference in the pedagogical encounter","authors":"Preeti Nayak, Diana M. Barrero Jaramillo","doi":"10.1080/03626784.2020.1863653","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03626784.2020.1863653","url":null,"abstract":"The pedagogical encounter has been a site of robust theorization in curriculum studies. For critical curriculum scholars, pedagogy is commonly understood as a site of individual and social transformation. The articles in this issue of Curriculum Inquiry question whether the pedagogical encounter is always a catalyst of desired change. Drawing from Gaztambide-Fern andez and Arr aiz Matute’s (2013) threefold theorization, we view pedagogy as always intentional, always relational, and moved by an ethical imperative. The four articles dive deeper into the ethical and relational dimensions of pedagogy by presenting us with new ways of thinking about “Self,” “Other,” and the politics of differentiating between “familiar and strange others” (Ahmed, 2000, p. 24). As Sara Ahmed (2000) argues, the self-other relationship is determined at the moment of the encounter and involves techniques for “seeing the difference.” Those techniques also operate to differentiate between “familiar and strange others” in ways that produce a “visual economy” (p. 24). The authors in this issue illustrate the multiple ways the visual economy operates within the pedagogical encounter(s); this economy, at times, conditions teachers and learners to “see difference” in oppressive ways. Collectively, these authors explore how the visual economy constrains or limits how we see, engage, and teach about difference, as well as how the pedagogical encounter produces others as strangers. At the same time, these authors also show us that once these techniques of differentiation are identified, deconstructed, and critiqued, new and liberatory ways of seeing and producing difference are made possible, and can, in fact, nurture more ethical relationalities. In the first article of this issue, Sun Young Lee makes an important intervention into the taken-for-granted practices of observation in the context of teacher education. In her article titled “Seeing the Difference: Anticipatory Reasoning of Observation and its Double Gesture in Teacher Education,” Lee examines the way teachers learn to see and think about the development of children and teachers through the lens of difference. As a supposedly empirical or scientific practice, methods of observation and feedback are integral to teacher education programs (Copland, 2010). Yet, as Lee argues, practices of observation reflect social and cultural values and are embedded within particular historical contexts. Building on the work of Peter Galison (2014), Lee illustrates the role that the visual plays in the production of knowledge and constitution of difference. As Lee argues, we do not naturally see diversity; rather, the process of visualization produces categories of difference that reify racial hierarchies.

The present study is a critical exploration of a study abroad program created by Black women for students of African descent. Through two conceptual frameworks—Black Atlantic Consciousness and Womanism—I note the ways in which the study abroad program departed sharply from traditional programming found at historically white institutions. Utilizing narrative thematic case study analysis, findings reveal both the program designers’ goals and intentions for this study abroad program, as well as the ways those goals translated into pedagogical and curricular praxis. Three subthemes comprise the larger theme related to goals and intentions: self-awareness and communal awareness, African diasporic gendered identity, and deconstruction with student support. Four subthemes organize the theme curricular and pedagogical praxis: spiritually detoxing experiences, Afrocentric role-playing and storytelling/making, integration of counseling and emotional support resources, and institutional subversion. The article concludes with reflections on and implications for culturally relevant study abroad programming.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":"50 1","pages":"419 - 439"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03626784.2020.1860641","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44131955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coles","doi":"10.1080/03626784.2020.1856622","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03626784.2020.1856622","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Curriculum within the US was birthed in a context of antiblackness and continues to operate as anti-Black through imagining Black youth as less than and uneducable. However, despite the ways educational space has historically worked to image Black children and communities through deficit lenses, the creation of non-traditional Black curricular spaces has long served as a strategy of resistance. In this paper, I examine the ways Black urban youth leveraged a co-created non-traditional curricular space, grounded in centering Blackness to make sense of their educational experiences. I draw from an academic yearlong (2016–2017) critical ethnography, centered in Black Critical Theory (BlackCrit), to examine what is revealed about Black living and learning and curriculum, through centering Blackness in a non-traditional curricular space. Theoretically framed through BlackCrit and Sharpe’s (2016) concept of wake work, I analyze critical literacy artifacts and interview data to examine how centering antiblackness, a strength-based positioning, facilitated Black curricular un/makings that worked to: 1) center Black empowerment and 2) affirm Black knowledge. I use the term curricular un/makings to represent the ways the Black youth leveraged their life-worlds to disrupt or abandon nation-state curriculum (unmake anti-Black curricular space) to compose new ideations of curriculum and curricular space (make curriculum anew by centering Blackness). Black curricular un/makings represent the intentional process of deconstructing anti-Black curriculum through an unapologetic centering of a Black ethos.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":"51 1","pages":"35 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03626784.2020.1856622","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42498939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many people, however, do not. School leaders and their curriculum developers, policy designers, evaluation and implementation experts, knowledge translators, health and resource specialists, and frontline school professionals are among the many who are often – purposefully or not – removed from anti-Blackness.

Our analysis reveals the anti-Blackness and ableism these artists encountered and uncovers ideologies conflating Blackness, disability, and inferiority within school-based contexts. The lyrics include rappers' autobiographical accounts, interpretations of first-person narratives, or stories about P-12 students and educators. We begin by situating ourselves as three Black scholars with distinctive geographical and generational entry points into Hip Hop and US special education. We anchor our analysis with Black feminist and decolonial theories that function as the conceptual framing for our contribution to (Black) curriculum studies. We found six lyrical themes spanning across four decades and varying US regions where rap music rose to national prominence. Black rappers offer revelations about curricular choices, school quality and funding, parent engagement, teacher–student dynamics, rappers as public pedagogues, and flipping the script on disability categories and differences. We conclude by providing recommendations and provocations for curriculum studies, curriculum workers, and special educators who examine the intersections of anti-Black racism and ableism.","PeriodicalId":47299,"journal":{"name":"Curriculum Inquiry","volume":"51 1","pages":"98 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03626784.2020.1819146","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44535306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
