Abstract

Collaborative and Community-Led Research

Ethnography of Education

Decolonizing Research

Cultural Anthropology

This essay considers what anthropological educators committed to liberatory practices can learn from a healing-informed, social justice-oriented, youth development curriculum called Telpochcalli. In this essay, we distill a core strategy of Telpochcalli’s pedagogy: establishing horizontal relational norms such as sitting in a circle and what MILPA calls becoming a good relative.
