Solidarity on the Screen and Six Feet Apart? DisCrit Mothering amid Multiple Social Crises
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v37 n9 p2582-2599 2024
In justice movements, solidarity means showing up for the humanity of others. This paper explores DisCrit mothering as a form of solidarity with children and families dehumanized by ableism and racism. As three motherscholars, who occupy varying spaces of privilege/marginalization in the academy, we reflect on our attempts to support our communities through DisCrit mothering, especially amid a global pandemic, uprisings for racial justice, and ongoing climate crises. As we encountered physical distance from our children's learning communities, we asked: What might solidarity look like? To answer this question, we share how we attempted solidarity from a distance.
