The publication of <em>Telling to Live: Latina Feminist<\/em> <em>Testimonios <\/em>(2001) almost a decade ago, demonstrates how Chicanas\/Latinas have taken up the art of <em>testimonio<\/em> as a relatively new genre within academia that draws from a theory of the flesh and situates the individual subject in connection with a collective experience marked by patterns of domination, subordination, and\/or resistance. Chicana\/Latina scholars have addressed methodological concerns, enacted new forms of political agency, reclaimed authority to assert voice and presence via their own <em>testimonios<\/em>, or served as the interlocutor for the subaltern voice.<\/p>\n<p>Within the field of education, the use of <em>testimonios<\/em> has resulted in new understandings about how marginalized communities respond and resist dominant culture, laws, and policies that perpetuate inequity. <em>Testimonios<\/em> serve as a pedagogical, methodological, and activist tool that has the potential to create discussions across difference and power relations.<\/p>\n<p>This special theme issue aims to bring attention to methodology, pedagogy, research, and reflection on <em>testimonios<\/em> within a social justice education framework. It is also meant to provide a forum for the <em>testimonio<\/em> scholarship that addresses the political urgency needed to address educational inequity within Chicana\/o\/Latina\/o communities<em>.<\/em> We welcome manuscripts that offer research findings, theoretical perspectives, methodological discussions, and pedagogical reflections concerning (but not limited to) the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Interdisciplinary scholarship that offers a bridge between educational scholarship and cultural studies, Chicana\/o studies, Native\/Indigenous studies, and\/or gender studies;<\/li>\n<li><em>Testimonio<\/em> scholarship that addresses intersectional perspectives based on sexuality, gender, immigration status, language proficiency, race\/ethnicity, and class.<\/li>\n<li>Methodological scholarship that addresses <em>testimonios<\/em> in relation to issues such as represent-tation, narrative authority, truth, or a repositioning of power for researcher and subject;<\/li>\n<li>Scholarship that addresses the power and concerns of using <em>testimonios<\/em> as a pedagogical tool inside or outside the walls of educational institutions;<\/li>\n<li><em>Testimonio<\/em> scholarship that addresses alternative ways of knowing including the body, spirit, pain, or space as sources of knowledge;<\/li>\n<li>Engaged participatory action research, youth studies, or immigrant studies that employ <em>testimonios;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Teacher or teacher educator research that addresses <em>testimonios<\/em> in relation to new curricular and pedagogical practices; and<\/li>\n<li><em>Testimonios<\/em> of Latinas\/os in elementary, secondary or postsecondary education.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:<\/strong> Follow Instructions for Authors on our website (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eee-journal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">https:\/\/www.eee-journal.com<\/a>).
