LatinxLab

Hello! The Latinx Lab presents the Social Justice & Storytelling Institute! This is a 2 week summer institute for students interested in majoring, double majoring, or minoring in CSU Fullerton’s Chicana/o Studies Department. We’d love your support in sharing ✨🌞

Stock stories are the first type in the Storytelling Project Model (STP). They function to protect & emphasize the racial status quo. We can find stock stories in ceremonies, laws, artwork, education and the media (18). Can you think of an example of a stock story? 📚

How do you use storytelling in your daily life? Share your thoughts, we want to know! ✨📖 #storytelling #latinxlab #sharing

Thank you to everyone who attended our panel, “Why Storytelling? Storytelling as a tool for Social Justice in the Latinx Lab” last week with the @EscritoresPromotores, Ashley Yniguez & Carlos Escobedo and Chicana/o Studies faculty, Dr. Gradilla, Dr. Nuñez, & Dr. Hanna! 🦋

STP model provides one way for educators to explore both the overt & implicit assumptions they hold about race & racism & to develop strategies to teach knowledgeably, conscientiously, & ethically in communities they often enter as privilege outsiders (92).  📖

“Make up a story. Narrative is radical, creating us at the very moment it is being created.” (89) From Storytelling for Social Justice Lee Anne Bell, 2002   #narrative #createstories #latinxlab

🦋According to Lee Anne Bell, the STP model is the deliberate and purposeful creation of a community of diverse members in which stories about race and racism can be openly shared, respectfully heard and critically discussed/analyzed (16). ✨ #STPmodel #socialjustice #stories

From Essay No. 3, titled Toward Love, Liberation, and Abolishing the Single Story, students focused on offering examples of how STP model was meaningful to them in their personal lives and how it impacted their views on teaching & learning! (Bell, 2020)❤

QOTD: “History is the struggle over who has the authority to tell the stories that define us” (44). 📖 #latinxlab #stories #socialjustice #storytelling #QOTD
