Gentrification 3.0 in Dual Language Bilingual Education: A Districtwide Analysis of Equity for Emergent Bilinguals

Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 308B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Dual language bilingual education (DLBE) is a form of bilingual education that has recently gained much attention from language majority families, often leading to DLBE gentrification—the displacement of language minoritized students and their rights. This symposium gathers five papers that report on the gentrification phenomena at the same pair of research sites in a new immigrant gateway state: A schoolwide DLBE-magnet school, and a traditional strand program. Data for all papers was gathered on the same project, but each explores unique aspects of the dataset, which included fieldnotes, site visits and interviews with teachers and administrators, and website texts and are theorized distinctly. The session maps how gentrifying discourses and practices operate at the classroom, school and district levels.
