| Abstract: |
This study highlights the cultural wealth of a Latinx immigrant farmworking community and how they engage in the education of their children. It problematizes traditional conceptions of parent engagement by building from immigrant farmworker families’ epistemologies, lived experiences, and aspirations. Using a qualitative case study approach, 11 Latinx farmworker parents from a rural community in the state of Washington were interviewed to learn how they 1) conceptualize their role and engage in the education of their children; and 2) how their lived experiences shape their dreams and hopes for their children. Emergent themes include: (a) cultural epistemologies of educación; (b) sueños comunales – aspirations that center community; and (c) lived experiences that shape parents’ sociocultural wisdoms (consejos).
