Border Crossing in the Classroom through Performed Ethnography

Resumen

In this essay I share the ways I have used performed ethnography to explore the notion of border crossing in an undergraduate course called "Equity and Activism in Education." Performed ethnography involves turning the findings of ethnographic research into a play script. My students read two performed ethnographies, "Harriet's House" and "Ana's Shadow," based on ethnographic research I had conducted about the lives of transnational adoptive LGBTQ families. They then reflected upon the ways they themselves had crossed borders in their families and schools, and how their own border crossing experiences might influence their future activist work in education.
