A Call for Radical Healing
Integrating healing into Critical Race Education
From: Decolonizing Equity
$2.00
In chapter 7, Ozioma Aloziem uses Critical Race Theory (CRT) to offer a framework for radical healing and to argue for the implementation of an emancipatory and embodied kind of education. Radical imagination invites us to consider a different approach to healing. Radical healing understands that complete change is necessary, that we don’t accommodate to systemic oppression but resist and transform through growth and healing. We cannot have justice or a decolonized society if we don’t reclaim and repair the human spirit. This chapter explores the work of queer BIPOC healers, teachers, cultural workers, grassroots activists, and leaders and explores topics including the limitations of our current education system and the current frameworks used to promote equity within them, decolonizing our educational spaces, and equitable educational environment.
