A TribalCrit Sensibility toward Critical Conscious Legal Literacy: Engaging ACPA's Framework for Racial Justice and Decolonization
Ward, LaWanda W. M.
Journal of College Student Development, v61 n6 p797-813 Nov-Dec 2020
I engaged TribalCrit Theory to explore ACPA's Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization as an option to advance the possibilities of critical conscious legal literacy. Critical conscious legal literacy equips student affairs educators to identify colonized logics that undergird law and legal interpretations and to offer anti-racist and equitable solutions. Law is influential and at times foundational in policy creation and implementation, warranting this form of interrogation. Probing questions for self-reflection about law are offered that align with imagining sustainable humanity-affirming educational environments.
