Questioning Pedagogical Contested Space: A Chicana Perspective
Revised Panel Description:
In paying respects to “all our relations,” this presentation directs our attention to how individuals listen to the rhetoric regarding racialized notions of how Ethnic Studies is brought into and taught in the classroom as a contested space. The story of the Chicana/o as a minority has been complicated with memories and lived realities of English-Only laws, propositions that break up families, rhetoric that dehumanizes (“illegal aliens”), and the list continues. This session focuses on a movement that has been part of “cultural pedagogy” referring to the idea that “education takes place in a variety of social sites including but not limited to school.” Cultural pedagogy acknowledges that “pedagogical sites are places where power is organized and deployed” (Steingberg and Kincheloe). This panel interrogates “contested knowledge” while remembering all our relations, by not forgetting the political and educational histories of students of color.
Dora Ramirez-Dhoore’s presentation “Difference is in the Voice: Listening to the “minor-ity” perspective in Academia” draws on the educational and thus political history of the Chicana/o student in the academy and how it affects their learning and success in the academy. She focuses on two of the texts that have been monitored by AZ House Bill 2281: Rudy Acuña's Occupied America and Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Patricia Trujillo’s “Writing/Righting/Riting Northern New Mexico: A Statement on Improving Writing at Northern New Mexico College” examines how faculty and students at Northern New Mexico College, a traditionally Hispanic and Native American serving institution, are co-creating a writing community around the concept of “academic rigor/cultural relevance,” in efforts to understand not only the grammar/ mechanics/ context of academic writing, but also how to understand the grammar/mechanics /context of the colonization that has shaped (is shaping) their literal community. Carol Brochin Ceballos's presentation, “The Borderlands Literacy Project: (Re)Conceptualizing Literacy Practices in Transnational Spaces” uncovers the historical, cultural, and sociocritical literacy practices (Gutierrez, 2008) within the third space—in this case the geographical region of the US/Mexico borderlands and the spaces between official and unofficial literacies (Kirkland, 2009). She documents a series of literacy events enacted with pre-service and practicing teachers at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) that place at the center activities geared to uncover the role of both official and unofficial literacy practices and the ways in which these literacy practices are shaped by living within and across transnational communities.
