This two-part roundtable seeks to open up new conversations on the ways in which embodied interventions and border-crossings are deeply implicated, even required, in pegaogies that seek to imagine transformative politics by internalizing a rigorous commitment to decoloniality. The proposed panels will ask what it means to denaturalize settler colonial logics by critically exploring dominant vocabularies about power and pedagogy and by troubling normative ideas about embodiment, identity, subjectivity, and agency.
