12 Angry Moms: Positioned Against Ourselves as Parents and Literacy Educators

Thu, November 29, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Renaissance Indian Wells, Floor: Terrace Level, Esmeralda 3

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

In this session, 12 women share our experiences as literacy researchers and teacher educators who struggled to advocate for our own children's literacy learning across various school contexts. Using autoethnographic methods, we frame our personal recollections, artifacts, and documents to illustrate how we experienced the educational systems in which we worked, not as partners in literacy collaboratives, but as parents positioned against ourselves.
