72.026 - Decentering Parental Involvement: Critical Examinations of Race, Class, Gender, and Immigration in U.S. Home–School Relationships
Mon, April 20, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Indiana/IowaSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Parental Involvement and its new incarnation, Parental Engagement, has become a keystone of current educational policy and research seeking to improve children’s educational success (Epstein, 2009; U.S. Department of Education, 2014). While recent scholarship has called for expanded conceptualizations of Parental Involvement (Calabrese Barton, et al, 2004; Cooper, 2007; Hurtig & Dyrness, 2011), attention is still needed in developing a nuanced understandings of how and when various systems of oppression intersect to play a role in families’ engagement with schools. This panel fills this gap by presenting systematic ethnographic analyses of home-school relations in U.S. public schools as occurring within social institutions and systems (NGOs, immigration policy, etc.) and by attending to intersections of race, class, gender, language, and immigration.
