At the Intersection of Transnationalism, Identity, and Conocimiento: An Autoethnography
1Department of Teacher Education, The University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, TX 79968, USA.
Abstract:
The transnationalism phenomenon is at the forefront of today's globalized world. This ethnographic self-reconstruction recounts a personal story as a transnational. I reflect on my engagement in continuous transnational migration practices, and on how these have and continue to mediate my identity [re]construction and my development of conocimiento. These insights help not only contribute to the under-explored body of literature that has adopted a comparative stance in looking at transnationalism and education on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, but also seek to promote conversation around the behaviors and cognitive benefits of those who engage in such ongoing migration practices and are immersed in educational settings.
