Re-imagining Equitable Inclusion: Immigrant and Refugee Parents and Youths’ Experiences of Dis-engagement
Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 308ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The session objective is to center the perspectives, voices, and struggles of immigrant and refugee parents and youth, with a focus on their efforts toward equitable inclusion in educational policies and practices. The four papers draw on a larger study about the equitable inclusion of these parents and youth in the context of exclusionary educational policies and practices, and how they realized—or were denied—opportunities to engage in decision- and policy-making processes. Based on preliminary analyses of audio-recorded individual and focus group interviews with parents and youth, these papers present findings that broadly reflect what we term family “dis-engagement,” which captures the extent to which their active efforts toward engagement were discouraged, dismissed, and discredited by educators.
