Pedagogy & (Im)Possibilities across Education Research (PIPER)
In this colloquium, we share collaborative ideas that came about during a weekend retreat.

This article addresses Black girls' invisibility first creatively, though the African diasporic rhetorical practice of storytelling. It then turns to an exploration of Fennell v. Marion Independent School District, where three sisters were subjected to a racially hostile educational environment in Marion, TX. The article …
