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.

对跨国母亲的幻灭与希望：通过陪伴改变教育的途径

这项重要的人种学研究探讨了一个由拉丁美洲移民母亲组成的参与行动研究小组，寻求让社区参与学校决策。我借鉴陪伴教学法，描述了母亲们如何应对决策挑战，并利用对共同创造知识和归属感的斗争的反思。我展示了他们的集体学习如何强调正式政策渠道之外的转型，促使我们考虑实现社会变革的替代方法。
