Abstract
This dissertation of praxis is a critical autoethnography of lived experiences within U.S. public schooling, interrogated through Black and Chicana feminist lenses. It offers counterstories to Seattle Public Schools’ enrollment policies and practices post-Parents Involved (2007), and reads into an expansive institutional record marginalized perspectives typically excluded from dominant narrative frames. These multi-languaged testimonios, structured in the form of a corrido, demonstrate how intersecting oppressions (racisms, colonialisms, patriarchies, capitalisms, etc.) are enacted in educational decision-making through interest convergence, and clash with the district’s self-proclaimed liberatory mission, vision, and values.
