Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In an effort to remedy and repair linguistic wounds, this symposium aims to reframe biliteracies as expansive practices for healing. We bring together scholars whose work examines the impact of critical, reflective, and decolonial pedagogies on Latinx educators and their trajectories through intentional humanizing methodologies in an effort to reimagine biliteracies as robust, critical, and lifelong in the lives of Latinx bilingual educators. Each paper grapples with interlocking systems of oppressions in their theories, methods, and/or pedagogical practices. Authors present decolonizing teaching and research approaches that challenge the (mis)education of bilingual teachers. With the audience, authors will explore concepts of ideological clarity, raciolinguistic ideologies, translanguaging, preparación palenquera, and collective acompañamiento, as important avenues for sustaining Latinx biliterate trajectories.
