Racial Justice in Multilingual Education: What Is It and How Do We Realize It?

Sat, April 26, 3:20 to 4:50pm MDT (3:20 to 4:50pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 703

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As a field, multilingual education has much work to do to overcome issues of anti-blackness (Cioè-Peña, 2024; Smith, 2023; Sung, 2018) and raciolinguistic ideologies (Chávez-Moreno, 2022; Fallas-Escobar, 2024; Flores & Rosa, 2015). We argue that multilingual education can and should be for healing, repair, and remedy from inequitable social, political, economic, and educational practices that dehumanize and create the context for substantial physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental harm. Therefore, the scholarship in this session addresses the question: what is racial justice in multilingual education and how do we realize it? Specifically, this session highlights scholarship that is theoretically informed and praxis-oriented to articulate what racial justice in multilingual education is and how to work towards realizing it.
