Testimonios of Momentos: Reading and Trusting My Embodied Epistemology
Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, v57 n3 p310-321 2021
In this essay, I explore the concept of embodied knowledge that stems from the Brown female body grounded in the critical scholarship by Chicana Feminist Theorists. I share three testimonios of "momentos"--moments in my life--where my embodied knowledge, through emotions, feelings, and senses guided my practices. Through this (re)membering, I illustrate how critical embodied knowledge is lived and passed down to our younger generations. Lastly, I discuss the notion of embodied knowledge in relation to my research praxis and pedagogy as possibilities for (re)imagining work that heals and humanizes the experiences of our children and communities.
