Description: In this episode, I speak with Steven Alvarez about his book, Community Literacies en Confianza: Learning From Bilingual After-School Programs (National Council of Teachers of English, 2017). This book highlights effective bilingual after-school programs and how their models can be applied to the traditional classroom contexts. We discuss the role of relationships and trust in fostering learning as well as emerging Latinx identities in the South.
Alvarez recommends the following books for listeners interested in his work and our conversation:
Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies: Teaching and Learning for Justice in a Changing World by Django Paris

Raciolinguistics: How Language Shapes Our Ideas About Race by H. Samy Alim

The Translanguaging Classroom: Leveraging Student Bilingualism for Learning by Ofelia García
