This panel illustrates implementation of the transformative, inclusive and anti-ableist pedagogy that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion in the classroom and beyond. The three former LaGuardia CC students will share the highlights of their social psychology course project in which they explored personal struggles for inclusion and equitable futures for themselves and members of their communities. Drawing on the critical social psychology perspective that approaches the self as a socially, culturally, historically, and spatially constructed process of engagement in social relationships and practices, students analyze the personal stories of conforming, negotiating, or resisting the institutional dominant discourses and social practices locating people in various oppressed intersecting positions of gender, class, sexuality, race, ethnicity, ability, immigration status, age, or other social categories. The students illustrate developing counter discourses that oppose oppressive and discriminatory dominant discourses and practices and explore positions of the agency and reimagined selves. The panelists will also reflect on the role of knowledge in promoting social justice and consider their contributions to the field of critical social psychology while developing their own activist agendas.
