About this Event
Ed Brockenbrough's talk will present Black queer resistant capital as a framework for understanding and supporting Black queer youth who fight back against queerphobic harassment. Wedding Tara Yosso’s work on community cultural wealth with scholarly and artistic depictions of Black queer resistance, this presentation seeks to reframe how educators and youth workers see and engage Black queer youth who stand up for themselves, especially in the absence of any meaningful protections from the adults entrusted with their care.
Ed Brockenbrough is an associate professor and the inaugural Calvin Bland Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education in Philadelphia, PA, where he teaches courses on educational justice, culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogies, and the social foundations of education. His research focuses on the intersections of race, masculinity, and queerness in urban and online educational contexts. Dr. Brockenbrough is currently finishing his second solo-authored book titled Learning While Black and Queer: Intersectional Dilemmas, Educational Possibilities, which will be published next spring by Harvard Education Press. He is also conducting a study with his peer Calvin Bland Faculty Fellows on diversion programs for young Black men in Philadelphia at risk of incarceration. His first book, Black Men Teaching in Urban Schools: Reassessing Masculinity, was published by Routledge in 2018.
