Abstract
This critical ethnographic study explores a participatory action research group consisting of Latin American immigrant mothers seeking to involve their community in school decision-making. Drawing from pedagogies of acompañamiento, I describe how the mothers responded to decision-making challenges and leveraged reflections on their struggles to co-create knowledge and belonging. I demonstrate how their collective learning highlights transformation outside of formal policy channels, pushing us to consider alternative ways of making social change.
