Queer Latina/o(x) Youth Education: A Community-Based Education Model to Queer of Color Praxis
Marquéz, Rigoberto
Equity & Excellence in Education, v52 n4 p396-408 2019
This article focuses on the author's collaborative work with the "Promotoras Comunitarias" of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles who teach the "Familias Diversas" workshop series. Taught in Spanish, the project's goal is to teach parents how to become advocates for and supporters of Latina/o(x) queer youth. The work of the "Promotoras" provides one example of how schools and community-based organizations can build support as well as create school policies related to queer youth of color. It is what the author calls a community-based education model grounded in queer of color praxis. This article is part of a symposium on queeruptions; it includes descriptions and analyses of the "Promotoras'" pedagogical approaches to illustrate what makes their work queer of color praxis.
