Multilingual “Translationships” and Digital Storytelling with Local Communities 

Our project merges storytelling, critical approaches to multilingualism, and digital humanities to explore how digital storytelling can create meaningful, culturally sustaining and mutually reinforcing connections within and between multilingual local and academic communities. Grounded in participatory, community-engaged, and decolonial methodologies, the project has two main goals: 1) Contribute to a linguistically and culturally diverse heritage digital space by supporting the creation, curation, and dissemination of multilingual stories meaningful to local multilingual community members in the Seattle area; 2) Develop culturally sustaining, feminist-oriented, and decolonial pedagogical practice and resources for adult (English) language and literacy education.

This is a collaborative project with Christina Sánchez-Martín.
