Relational Awareness and Culturally Relevant/Sustaining Pedagogies—Praxis and Possibility: A Story in Four Acts

Abstract

This self-study examines how I enacted culturally relevant/sustaining pedagogies (CRP/CSP) in a graduate course. Specifically, I was seeking to understand what core practices of relational awareness were supportive of CRP/CSP. Using a first-person/self-study and arts-based action research approach, I describe my learning that developed hand in hand with vital tensions and paradoxes.
