"This Is Manist": Counterscripts as Catalysts for Change in the English Curriculum
Panther, Leah
Multicultural Perspectives, v22 n4 p194-200 2020
When Ana, a student in Miss Jerome's American Literature course, watched a makeup tutorial instead of completing her assigned work, it became a critical incident highlighting how one educator used student counterscripts to critically center students' ways of knowing and ways of being in the English curriculum. Using culturally sustaining pedagogies as a framework, the instructional practices reflect resistance to western, Eurocentric literacy standards and school standards of professionalism that reify white supremacy. By centering orality through multi-party discourse and literary theory, ultimately the youth in Miss Jerome's classroom learned literacies to make agentive decisions about their own bodily autonomy.
