• In Event: 61.021 - The Role of Women in Our Lives

Abstract

Engaging in critical consciousness dialogues informing culturally sustaining teaching for diversity and social inquiry led to sociopolitical and sociocultural illumination in our tripartite mother scholar communidad (community). The purpose of this presentation is to report the findings of our tripartite perspectives of how to develop a critical consciousness dialogue framed and analyzed through critical race feminism and Critical Race Theory. Bound in feminist of color epistemological ideology, the researchers revolutionize the academy through their cultural and political responses to advocate for themselves, their families, and other mother’s children.
