45.077 - Ethnic Studies as Freirian Pedagogy: Praxes Filipina/o/x American Studies

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session applies Freire’s notion of critical praxis to the educational experiences of Filipina/o Americans. Panelists present research that utilizes collective theory, action, and reflection in order to bring the overlooked and misconstrued experiences of Filipina/o Americans to the forefront of educational discourse. Specifically, we will present critical qualitative research that explore the implementation and creation of: 1) historically responsive pedagogy; 2) critical performance pedagogy; 3) an ethnic studies praxis story plot; and 4) ethnic studies at the elementary school level. The research presented offers new perspectives on holistic social justice for under-represented students and their communities.
