Abstract

This chapter considers the ways that both “community” and “academy” are frequently oversimplified and essentialized in discussions of community literacies. Using co/autoethnography, the authors examine their experiences creating and supporting an arts fellowship for refugee and immigrant youth, in partnership with a non-profit center for refugees, a local literacy center for new Americans, and a large private university, and explore the ways that both fixed definitions can be troubled to create and portray fluid and shared experiences.
