Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel presents Women of Color (WoC) scholars who continue the traditions of Chicana Feminist theory and Critical Race Theory, using counter stories, testimonio, and pláticas in their qualitative research. Each contributor shares how their own positionality influences the ways they engage in research work and in academe. They examine the ways their identities [and bodies] are viewed, managed, and contested within educational spaces. Using a series of ethnographic and qualitative methodologies and stances, findings from five papers point to the power of a collective of women scholars speaking up and building bridges that lead to upholding who we are and honoring our critical epistemological and pedagogical frameworks within varying educational institutions.
