Abstract
Through critical intersectional feminist ethnographic observations and interviews with elementary school participants engaging in cultures of multicultural inclusion, intersectional disability justice and queer critical race feminist Alternative Worldmaking themes of Rest and Relaxation, Building Community, and Honoring Differences were discovered in daily elementary school and classroom interactions, dialogue, curriculum, and policy. Intersectional disability justice and queer critical race feminist Alternative Worldmaking taking place in elementary school learning places is a direct challenge to current dystopic education and societal systems, which often foster individual isolation, productivity, and competition. Through participant observations, semi-structured interviews, reflexive journaling, discourse, and policy and institution analysis, Alternative Worldmaking themes signal hope for the transformation of education and societal systems to resist oppression and marginalization, and, instead, move toward new worlds of interconnectivity, interdependence, and communities, which honor rest, play, connection, and our myriad of differences.
