“ <i>I Have Been Getting Involved for My Children</i> :” An Un/documented Latina Mother’s Immigrant Rights Practice as Family Engagement

This study examines the immigrant rights practices of one un/documented Latina mother who organizes with her children for immigrant rights in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Findings show the ways she conceptualizes her immigrant rights organizing as parental engagement in her children's education. Implications highlight the need for education practitioners/scholars to include community organizing in their understanding of what counts as family/parental engagement in/out of schools, and to work with immigrant families as practice, policy, and research partners.

Abstract

This study examines the immigrant rights practices of one un/documented Latina mother who organizes with her children for immigrant rights in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Findings show the ways she conceptualizes her immigrant rights organizing as parental engagement in her children's education. Implications highlight the need for education practitioners/scholars to include community organizing in their understanding of what counts as family/parental engagement in/out of schools, and to work with immigrant families as practice, policy, and research partners.
