Doing as the Trees Do: Two Femmes of Color Resisting Institutional Violence
RodrÃguez, Briana K. N.; Kokka, Kari
Educational Foundations, v34 n1 p132-150 2021
Relationships, such as the advisee/advisor relationship, in academia are typically taught to be used as a resource (a commodity) for the advancement of one's career. Problematizing the advising relationship draws attention to the inherent hierarchies and violence an advisor may perpetuate. In this article, we explore our resistance and healing from EuroAmerican epistemologies in hopes of building a present and future that honors our wholeness and wellness. We examine our relationship, through an autoethnographic duet, drawing on Maya cosmology and inviting our Tree relatives to guide us in understanding how we might be well together.
