Session title:
Gutter Rainbows and Concrete Roses: Utilizing Community Cultural Wealth to Find Beauty in the Hideous
Education Researchers Use Research to Improve Education and Serve the Public Good
This year’s AERA theme, “Non Satis Scire: To Know Is Not Enough,” calls on the educational researcher community to actively engage with communities that exist on the fringes of dominant society and use research “to improve education and serve the public good.” The panel answers this call by approaching communities of color with a Community Cultural Wealth (Yosso, 2005) framework that highlights the strengths, beauty, and resistance already present in the realities of marginalized communities. The papers emphasize what the research community can learn from the lived experiences of people of color as they experience racial, ethnic, class, and gender oppression; the panel aspires to learn with marginalized communities to create opportunities.
