Through discussions with Kichwa community members from the Kichwa Otavalo and Kichwa Saraguro people residing across the U.S., this event will highlight the importance of home- and community-based pedagogies as they foster intergenerational transmission of languages and cultures across youth and families in order to navigate...

Each of these cascading terms, refractions in an opaque (smoking?) mirror, marked chapters in a community’s ever-unfolding story of itself. They were partly martialed in resistance to an often inhospitable and exclusionary...
