Becoming Motherscholars honors the collective labor, sacrifices, and knowledges that motherscholars bring to academia, affirming their interwoven praxis of resistance and transformation. Drawing on kuwentos, it presents theories, methods, and praxes for motherscholarship, by defining five embodied principles: resisting oppressive structures, recognizing overlaps, embracing intersectionality, cultivating humanizing relationships, and building solidarities. Without them, the field loses praxes of care, justice, and collective becoming needed to reimagine academia as a humanizing space.
Becoming Motherscholars is essential reading for social justice scholars and higher education professionals, affirming women, faculty of color, and diverse administrators, staff, and graduate students across Ethnic Studies, Education, Gender Studies, Psychology, Political Science, and Sociology.
