Session Submission Summary

Women Education Scholars and Their Children's Schooling

Mon, April 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 144 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

What happens when female academics who study education, schooling, and children enroll their own sons and daughters in school? How do these mother-scholars understand their own children’s experiences given their knowledge of curriculum, pedagogy, youngsters and educational equity? Using an intersectional framework (Collins, 1991; Crenshaw, 1991), symposium presenters of diverse racial, ethnic, and regional backgrounds approach these questions using duoethnography, autoethnography, and discourse analysis to shed light on the understudied area of how women education scholars approach their own children’s schooling. Implications of how schools actors (e.g. teachers, principals), feminist researchers, and educational scholars can use these analyzed narratives will be explored in this lively symposium.
