Name
Pedagogical Resistance in Crip Cyberspace: A Study of Crip Liberatory Pedagogy within Online Neurodivergent Community
Time
3:00 PM - 3:50 PM (EDT)
Description

This session takes inclusive educators into crip cyberspace, sharing research into resistant pedagogy within online neurodivergent community. Using critical discourse analysis, this research collected three months of TikTok posts made by self-identified neurodivergent individuals, to examine online neurodivergent community through the lens of “crip liberatory pedagogy.” This lens is informed by the principles of disability justice, Paulo Freire’s pedagogy of the oppressed, and Kafai (2021)’s discussion of education within disabled, queer of color community. Session participants will gain ideas for fostering inclusion within their educational spaces grounded in the pedagogical methods and curricular content of neurodivergent community on social media.
