Title
Solidarity-Driven Codesign: Evolving Methodologies for Expanding Engagement with Familial & Community Expertise
Alternate name
Chapter 16
Abstract/Description
This chapter argues for the need to expand recognition and engagement of youth, familial, and community expertise not only to improve but also to more fundamentally transform education and educational systems toward justice and community well-being. We offer solidarity-driven codesign as a methodological expansion to improvement-focused research (Ishimaru et al., 2018) as an alternative to technical-rational uses of data that evade historically based dynamics of power, race, and culture in practice. We provide examples from the work of the Family Leadership Design Collaborative to illustrate methodological approaches across four key principles: (1) begin with family and community ecologies; (2) disrupt normative power dynamics; (3) enact solidarities in change making; and (4) cultivate ongoing transformative possibilities. We conclude with a call to recognize and move beyond the color-evasive normative conception of expertise that privileges academic degrees over lived theories and experiences. Meeting this challenge will require researchers and practitioners alike to develop new capacities and processes to engender expansive forms of professional, community, family, and student learning, as well as transformative change in schools and broader educational systems.
