Enacting Our Radical Imaginary: A Place-Based Activation of Speculative Learning Design

Ijeoma Njaka (Georgetown University)

The Enacting Our Radical Imaginary (EORI) Collaboratory will combine radical imagination, speculative design, and embodied arts-based pedagogy in order to ask our university community to struggle not only with the idea of America, but also the racism and white supremacy in our institutional history as we work to build a just future at our university. Through the partnership of three Georgetown University institutions, the EORI Collaboratory will use the student-generated speculative designs featuring radically reimagined visions of US higher education centered around racial justice as the source material for scenarios to be co-generated with the Racial Justice EnActors using the Baker Family Terrace as a space for participatory workshops, performance, and activation.
