Getting (Em)bodied: Woman of Color Feminisms and Literacies in the Classroom
Thu, November 29, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Renaissance Indian Wells, Floor: Terrace Level, Crystal GSession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
Drawing on women of color feminisms, we examine how love serves as an intellectual and political resource for girls of color; the intersectionalities of race, gender, body image, and literacies as interpreted by Black female students.; how our participant’s stories and teaching practices demonstrate how to embody women of color feminisms when working with youth.; and finally, we examine how women of color feminisms of embodiment serve as theoretical tools for literacy.
