(Re)Framing the Discourse of Parent Involvement: Calling on the Knowledge of Latinx Mothers
Sat, April 23, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Marriott Grand Ballroom 3Abstract
This study examines educational injustice as experienced by Latinx mothers of children with dis/abilities. In schools, the discourse of parent involvement continues to perpetuate definitions of family participation that disqualify family knowledge by silencing the contributions of minoritized families (Lareau & Munoz, 2012). When we rethink traditional notions of what counts as knowledge, critical raced-gendered epistemologies can allow the experiential knowledge of Latinx mothers of children with dis/abilities to be viewed as a strength (Delgado Bernal, 2002). To advance equity, the reading about the lives of mothers positioned within a disability critical race (DisCrit) framework will enrich the understanding and strengthen the perspectives that educators develop so as to join forces with Latinx mothers and their children with dis/abilities.
