14.045-15 - The Role of Parents and Parent Narratives in Addressing School and Community Equity
Thu, April 27, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Ballroom Level, Hemisfair Ballroom 3Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
Exploring the complex landscape of community and school-based movements for equity, these papers illuminate parents’ voices, attitudes, and practices regarding their youths’ education. Some papers reject the common deficit narratives of parents from marginalized communities, while others explore how parents work to maintain social and class privilege for their youth. Collectively, the papers address the multitude of discursive strategies parents employ to offer their children and families a better life amidst inequitable social conditions.
