Community Cultural Wealth Pedagogies: Cultivating Autoethnographic Counternarratives and Migration Capital
Jimenez, Rosa M.
American Educational Research Journal, v57 n2 p775-807 Apr 2020
Pedagogies employing critical traditions have increasingly been used to ameliorate achievement disparities and centralize issues of power in the education of Students of Color. In this study, I trace a teacher's journey--new to critical pedagogies--as she learned about community cultural wealth and incorporated family histories as counterstorytelling curricula with her sixth-grade class of immigrant students in California's Central Valley. I examine the pedagogical implementation with examples of students' meaning making. The teacher and students demonstrated what I am advancing as migration capital--or knowledges, sensibilities, and skills cultivated through the array of migration/immigration experiences to the United States or its borderlands. This study highlights the potential of community cultural wealth pedagogies and as pedagogical tools to counter deficit narratives with Latina/o immigrant youth.
