Session Type: Roundtable Session
This symposium is comprised of three papers that explore the affordances of community based programs that center culturally relevant programming for girls of color. Each paper examines the ways in which opportunities to engage critical interrogations of power and issues of social justice contribute to the intellectual, social, and emotional well-being of girls of color. We posit that community based programs serve as potential sites where liberatory pedagogy can be developed, enacted, and embodied. In doing so, each paper in this session grapples with the question: what can educational researchers and teacher educators learn from strategic partnership and the alignment of goals among community-based educators, schools, and other organizations working to improve the educational experiences for girls of color?
