Dr. Alicia Rusoja Assistant Professor UC Davis School of Education "A Communal Pedagogy of Resistance:" The Educational Practices of Un/documented Latine/x Immigrant Rights Organizing Anti-immigrant legal violence and grassroots organizing against it fundamentally shape the lives of immigrant children and families in the United States. This talk will share findings from a year-long practitioner inquiry study on the intergenerational community organizing practices of un/documented Latine/x immigrants in South Philadelphia, PA, during a time of increasing anti-immigrant policies and practices. Theorizing the concept of a "communal pedagogy of resistance," the talk will address implications for educators / scholars / educational leaders committed to learning from the expertise of un/documented communities in/out of schools. Speaker Bio: Dr. Alicia Rusoja's interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of Latinx/Chicanx studies, critical education/critical literacy studies, and university-community/research-practice partnerships. As a Latina immigrant and activist-scholar, she employs participatory and critical community-based qualitative research methodologies to understand the immigrant rights organizing of Latinx immigrant youth, adults and families. Broadly, her research illuminates the fundamental role that communal education, critical literacy, and critical research practice play in the intersectional, and intergenerational, political mobilization of Latinx immigrant youth and their communities. Relatedly, her work aims to explore how critical qualitative research methodologies, including community-based, participatory and practitioner research, can be tools for resisting colonial logics within the grassroots organizing of Latinx immigrant communities, as well as in community-based research and university-community partnerships, including those related to school-community relationships.
