How to Use the Books You Choose: Elevating the Status of Marginalized Identities in ChildrenR17;s Literature through Classroom Teaching
Teachers and researchers are contributing to a growing body of work focused on discerning authentic from inauthentic representations of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and intersectional marginalized characters and stories in childrenR17;s literature as well as empowering from disempowering narratives. Importantly, the current visibility of our nationR17;s racial unrest serves as the backdrop for this work. Ongoing acts of violence against Black and Brown bodies have been laid bare as the United StatesR17; legacy of white supremacy is on full display.How does this connect with childrenR17;s literature? When we fill our classrooms with books we are presented with opportunities to choose well and choose wisely in order to, literally, change prevailing narratives about intersecting identities. These choices are consequential. They can also be relatively simpleR12;small, simple changes to the texts we use and the ways we use them can have a big impact on childrenR17;s identity development and their relationships with complex social issues.Language & literacy experts Dr. Laura Jiménez and Dr. Andrea Bien invite you to the 2nd webinar in our series, as we move from analysis to pedagogy focusing on examples of integrating rich childrenR17;s literature into elementary classroom teaching.
