A6: One way I've been thinking about addressing these issues is through partnerships with Indigenous teachers in Mexico. I wonder how we can re-think Latinx multilingual education in the U.S. by working alongside Indigenous educators to transform education for our students? #literacies

Yes!! Love this idea for transnational pedagogy and bringing in the experts like the grandmas, aunties, etc.! #literacies

A6: Multilingual students and their families have so much knowledge from living and learning from home across many languages, and I’m excited about academic research that partners with youth and families directly to reimagine curriculum and pedagogy together #literacies

A5: I think this is such an important point, and really speaks to the importance of exploring stories, poetry, theory and artwork that engages with that history. Personally, the work of Gloria Anzaldua helped me start to think about this more critically #literacies

A4: One example I see is not acknowledging their existence altogether or speaking of indigenous languages as something of the past. #literacies

A3: teachers are in situations where they must get creative to support and communicate with their students and their families. This is a part of good teaching practice, and also, it doesn’t feel sustainable to rely only on individuals only when systems need changing #literacies

I grew up in a monolingual household in the Midwest, and was not in many spaces where my languging practices were not in the majority. When I lived and taught overseas for four years, it was the first time that I began to understand my ways of speaking as so particular my context. #literacies

I love this question! Because I am particularly interested in multimodal #literacies, I am also thinking about languaging practices broadly - writing about playful interactions with children in a dissertation format has been its own challenge of translation. #literacies
