Abstract
Using ethnographic methods, the author studies her experiences as a child, teacher and a scholar through the lens of critical literacy. In doing so, she confronts challenges that students, families, and teachers face in the spaces where their worlds overlap. The author explores the implications of her experiences as it relates to teaching and learning, family literacy, and the current political climate.
