Today on the podcast we are excited welcome Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera, authors of En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students. Both Carla and Luz infuse their own experiences as bilingual Latinx students into their writing and teaching, urging teachers to create liberating spaces for their students by embracing a practice known as translanguaging.

They assert that educators must center and study the “language practices in students’ lives and texts, helping both children and teachers think about their ideas on language.”
