Espinoza, Katherine; Degollado, Enrique David
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Washington, DC, Apr 8-12, 2016)
Often times teachers' turn to alternative communities of practice in order for their activist identities to develop, emerge, and flourish (Bernstein & Montano, 2011). This project intends to examine the activist identity of a bilingual Chicana teacher through interviews, storytelling and the co-construction of knowledge about her experiences in teaching and her membership in a teachers' association.
