(I& #39;m excited for this discussion).
#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& #39;s ironic what positivism has become, as Comte& #39;s positivism was all about social science& #39;s relationship to the state. Something I& #39;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."

#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& #39;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& #39; "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& #39;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).
