Disability Justice Activism in the Classroom - Alternative Worldmaking through Queer, Critical Race, and Feminist Practices

Through ethnographic fieldwork in a multicultural K-5 environment, Abustan discovered practices among young children that counter the traditional educational setup of training students to be individualistic and competitive. In this particular environment, the author finds that the teacher and students draw on disability, queer, critical race, feminist practices like rest and relaxation, building community, and honoring differences to engage in alternative worldmaking.
