CALL FOR PAPERS FOR NEW ANTHOLOGY IN CHICANA/LATINA
EPISTEMOLOGY AND PEDAGOGY

Chicana/Latina Feminist Pedagogies and Epistemologies of
Everyday Life: Educacion en La Familia, Comunidad y Escuela

Edited by: Dolores Delgado Bernal, C. Alejandra Elenes,
Francisca E Godinez, Sofia Villenas

This "first of its kind" anthology will center Chicana/Latina
feminist and mujer-centered perspectives to reconceptualize
and re-articulate "education," "pedagogy" and "epistemology."
We seek papers that re-define women's and girls' everyday
politics, practices of well-being and spirituality, and
constructions of identities/subjectivities. We view this re-
articulation of the field of education as intersecting with
social sciences and social knowledge discourses. We are
interested in works that employ Chicana feminist theories and
methodologies as central to knowledge, power and politics in
Chicana/Latina scholarship. Following our special issue,
"Chicana/mexicana feminist pedagogies: Consejos, respeto, y
educacion in everyday life" in the International Journal of
Qualitative Studies in Education (Fall 2001), we seek papers
for the following four broad themes, each facilitated by an
editor. We also invite submissions of essays, short stories,
photographic essays, and poetry. The four broad themes are:

Borderlands Theories: In Between Spaces, Culture and
Knowledge For this section, we seek theoretically based
papers that explore how conceptualizations of the borderlands
can inform new interdisciplinary scholarship in the
construction of knowledge, culture and social sciences.

Challenging Educational Norms and Dominant Perceptions of
Chicana/Latina Students This section addresses the various
ways in which Chicana/Latina college students experience
schooling and how they negotiate their own resistance,
identities, and culture. We seek papers that explore the
various ways in which mujeres draw on home and community
knowledge to overcome educational obstacles. Edited by
Dolores Delgado Bernal, [log in to unmask]

Mothers and Adult Women: Teaching and Learning in the Home
space, Community, and Workplace This section addresses
"education" and "pedagogy" as articulated, practiced and
embodied by adult others, daughters, and women kin in the
intimate spaces of family and women networks. We seek papers
that excavate new modes and definitions of teaching and
learning often made invisible by mainstream notions of
mothering, family education and feminist critical pedagogy.

Chicana Youth Identities, Bodies and Worldviews In this
section, we seek works that look at, listen to Chicana youth
bodies, realities, and conditions. Of particular interest are
articles offering holistic strategies grounded in spiritual,
cultural and/or political experiences shaping young women's
identities and worldviews. Edited by Francisca E Godinez,
