• In Event: Conviviendo por y con Luis C. Moll [Conviviality for and With Luis C. Moll]: Bridging Funds of Knowledge, Vygotsky, and Educational Equity

Abstract

Luis C. Moll's research trajectory continued with a deep interest in the everyday lives of students and their families, emphasizing the importance of cultural practices in shaping learning experiences. His work in Arizona, often in collaboration with notable scholars such as Norma González and Carlos Vélez-Ibáñez (to name a few), introduced and developed the funds of knowledge approach. This approach highlights the value of household knowledge and practices in educational contexts, advocating for a pedagogy that bridges home and school experiences.
