Bio

Casey Philip Wong, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Social Foundations of Education in the Georgia State University College of Education and Human Development. Dr. Wong aims to advance justice by interrogating systems of coloniality, carcerality, and oppression in education through critical feminist, anti-colonial, and abolitionist frameworks, and by investigating and developing culturally sustaining and strength-based pedagogies to teach and learn otherwise. He was recently an invited panelist for a Presidential Session at the American Educational Research Association on centering cultural and artistic practice in scientific design (San Diego), an invited presenter for a Presidential Session on Hip Hop Pedagogies at the American Association of Applied Linguistics (Chicago), an invited presenter on an Executive Session Roundtable at the American Anthropological Association that focused on abolitionist anthropology (Baltimore), and a speaker at the International James Baldwin Conference (Paris). Building upon his background as a bboy, beatmaker, and educator, Dr. Wong has worked with scholars and activists in Hip Hop Education to organize four Think Tank gatherings and a Global Symposium on the Future and Promise of Hip Hop Pedagogy. He is a co-editor with H. Samy Alim and Jeff Chang of the volume, Freedom Moves: Hip Hop Knowledges, Pedagogies, and Futures.
