We receive instruction from Toni Morrison to “dream a little before you think.” In this roundtable, we ground in the tradition of Black feminist thought and its call in to dreaming as a critical pedagogy in our work toward social justice. The speakers in this roundtable are inviting discussion about what it takes to turn toward one another in a deeply divided world that continues to be undone by gendered racial capitalism. The proposed speakers are scholar-practitioners who are joining across continental, professional, and lived experiences, one based in Israel and one in the United States. The speaker based in Israel teaches clinical social work to diverse graduate students who will be working in trauma and recovery for different communities in Israel Amid war and its aftermath. The U.S.-based speaker is leading research into the freedom dreams of foundation executives of color, in which they tap into their radical imagination and share their desires for a just, multiracial democracy. The speakers will reflect on what they are learning and unlearning given their commitments to making space for dreaming in contexts that constrain imagination. Conference participants will be invited to join in discussion about how we can support liberatory possibilities for the individual psyche and for groups in ways that enable our bold and courageous action for social justice.
