Losing Place, Losing Opportunity: The Varied Experiences of Latinx Families With Neighborhood and School Gentrification

Tue, April 26, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: South Building, Level 1, Temecula Ballroom 4

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The discourse on neighborhood gentrification has trickled down into education research over the past decade. While there is a growing research base that explores gentrification and its impact on public schools, much of this work does so through the centering of white, gentry parents. The purpose of this session is to build on this extant research in the education field by centering the varied experiences of Latinx families with school and neighborhood gentrification in ways that disrupt monolithic depictions of Latinx communities. The findings of each paper have implications for how schools equitably meet the local needs of Latinx student populations and will provide useful insights for crafting anti-displacement policies at various levels of the education system.
