Feminist Ethnography: Thinking through Methodologies, Challenges, and Possibilities. Dána‐AinDavis and ChristaCraven, London: Rowman & Littleford, 2016
Migrant Third Space Pedagogies: Educative Practices of Becoming and Belonging
Con Café, Compañerismo, y Calidad: Latina Women Fashioning a Writing Group into a Space of Praxis and Belonging
This article explores the spatial practices through which a group of Mexican immigrant women, participants in a school-based writing workshop I facilitated for four years, molded and gave meaning to our weekly writing routine to foster inclusivity as the basis for collective teaching and learning—creating what I refer to as a space of praxis and belonging. Integrating the insights of Latina feminist ethnography with dialectical and dialogical app…
Coming of Age in Times of Crisis: Youth, Schooling, and Patriarchy in a Venezuelan Town
Postscript: Years Later, Having Graduated: Reflections on Crisis and Coming of Age
Among the challenges posed by ethnographic narrative is its tendency to limit the expanse of the lives populating that narrative to the temporal and spatial frameworks of the ethnographic experience. In the process, the ethnographic experience itself takes on the function of a landscape— to draw metaphorically upon John Berger's insight quoted above. All too often, the ethnographic landscape obscures the complexities and contradictions of everyda…
Applying Anthropology to School Reform: Issue Overview
The project of reforming schools has been a facet of the cultural production of schooling for as long as schools have been a facet of modern state societies. Debates over what schools teach, how, for whom, by whom, and for what purposes strike at the center of deeply rooted and highly contested societal beliefs about family, tradition, and local culture on the one hand, and the nation-state and civil society on the other. Indeed, debates framing …
Parents Researching and Reclaiming “Parent Involvement”: A Critical Ethnographic Story
For the past eight years I have worked with parents in neighborhood schools in a large urban school district, teaching writing workshops and leading community research and evaluation projects. I do this work through a small, university-based program called the Community Writing and Research Project (CWRP). The CWRP partners with schools and community organizations to offer personal narrative writing workshops, publish magazines of participants' w…
Community Writing, Participatory Research, and an Anthropological Sensibility
Participatory research is a radical praxis through which marginalized people acquire research capabilities that they use to transform their own lives. In this article, I examine how parent writers incorporated facets of community writing into their research practice as they developed their practices and identities as researchers. I also consider how anthropology, as both research practice and sensibility, contributed to the ways I engaged as an o…
Mexican Mothers Retelling the City: Stories from the 'parents as writers' workshop
This article explores the ways a group of Mexican immigrant mothers living in Chicago's Little Village reconfigure their relation to local and transnational spaces they occupy, through their participation in a parent writing and publishing workshop. By conceptualizing the writers' storytelling activity as “spatial practices,” I consider how writing and reading stories in the group, and circulating their stories through publication and public read…
