Abstract

This qualitative case study centers a Filipinx/Filipinx American parent-organized learning collective that emerged in 2020, amid heightened anti-Asian violence and the Black Lives Matter movement. The study explores how the founding mothers and organizers make meaning of their experience during the early evolution of the learning collective, for families who want to learn about Filipino language, arts, and cultural practices. Examining critical-race parenting and racialized parenting, the researcher, a Filipina American motherscholar and practitioner explores the motivations of parent involvement in teaching, learning, and understanding about race, ethnicity, and identity within the collective and explores an antiracist teaching framework that can be applied in homes, communities, and schools.
