Nurturing a Critical Race Feminista Praxis: engaging education research with a historical sensibility

Abstract

This research article is a theoretical guide for scholars interested in bridging Critical Race Theories, Chicana/Latina Feminist frameworks, and historical sensibilities to disrupt whiteness within research about Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x education. We articulate the contours of a Critical Race Feminista Praxis and provide examples of its application by sharing lessons learned from carrying research centred on the experiences of Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x communities. We posit, social justice transformation is manifested when Education researchers uplift Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x histories of resilience and resistance by nurturing a Critical Race Feminista Praxis.
