Abstract

This paper explores post-qualitative feminist materialism alongside post/anti-colonial feminist ontology and epistemology that have historically recognized this line of thinking and method. Specifically, this work draws upon a research project that focuses on the embodied, liminal experiences of undocumented Latina adolescents, the intersections of identity, gender, spirituality, etc. and how these junctures impact curriculum, and decolonizing practices in schools. Finally, this project interweaves research, theory, epistemology, and ontology to inform methodology and to illuminate a post/anti colonial feminist becoming that disrupts Westernized, colonial approaches to curriculum in schools.
