Relating Our Experiences: The Practice of Positionality Stories in Student-Centered Pedagogy
Christina V. Cedillo; Phil Bratta
College Composition and Communication, v71 n2 p215-240 2019

Sharing two stories here, we illustrate how educators might use these to help students from marginalized communities develop connections with teachers and navigate academia.
