Roundtable Participants:
Dr. Aymar Christian, Northwestern University

In line with this year’s conference theme, preservation, precarity, and praxis, our featured roundtable will focus on how different scholars incorporate praxis into their teaching, research, criticism, and activism. We are lucky enough to have Dr. Aymar Christian, Dr. Lori Morimoto, Dr. Christine Becker, and Dr. Randolph Lewis as our roundtable participants. Each panelist will prepare a brief, informal statement on how they incorporate praxis into their work, followed by a roundtable discussion and a broader Q&A session. Dr. Suzanne Scott and Jacqueline Johnson will moderate.
