Abstract
This interview brings scholars together to discuss recent attacks on the education system and to share thoughts on activism and justice. It’s a frank conversation that engages in complexities around conservative ideologies and strategies for change. All the participants, Natasha Warikoo, Dave Stovall, and Victor Ray, deeply care about social change, and I am grateful to them for offering their analyses to help navigate this historical moment.
I also owe the title of this article to Dr. Dave Stovall, who mentioned it during our conversation. It perfectly encapsulates this article, not as an interview, but closer to a conversation with kin. The title is reminiscent of experiences when we were young and sitting, listening, learning – a kind of orature and communication by which wisdom is passed down generation to generation, often around grandma’s table. Learning does not happen solely within designated social institutions, and I am happy to share this conversation full of wisdom with you.
