Theorizing Home: Chicana Doctoral Student Testimonios from the Borderlands

• In Event: Rethinking Subjectivity and Place

Abstract

In this scholarly paper, the authors theorize their educational journeys as Chicana doctoral students through a methodological approach based on "testimonios," "platica," and "reflexión" to analyze how the intersections of their multiple identities, specifically border identities, have informed their socialization into the academy.
