Mother-Scholars (Re)Imagine Schools

Abstract

I imagine what the field of education might look like if the central realities of mother-scholars were included in its subject matter. Illuminating mother-scholar insights allows us to analyze how male epistemology has contributed to the conventional construction of the field of education, prompting us to re-examine the field’s traditional boundaries. While androcentric underpinnings are still in place, it is unclear whether we can successfully create a just educational system – a goal of many scholars within the field.
