“…Thus, the findings may have limited transferability and may not extend to participants from other linguistic groups or other states. Despite these limitations, this study is informed by critical, decolonial, and PAR paradigms (Callaghan, 2016; Collins et al, 2018; Lugones, 2010) that uses thick description to achieve external validity and transferability rather than solely focusing on generalizability (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). Thus, these findings may be highly transferrable, particularly the circuits of dispossession and patterns that prevent CLD families' meaningful participation.…”

Despite US federal legislation mandates institutions to provide meaningful access and participation to students and families in educational settings, culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families and caregivers of children in special education experience cultural and linguistic barriers. A Community Advisory Team (CAT) of parents, advocates, community interpreters and translators, researchers, and teachers explored CLD families' experiences and advocacy efforts. Critical bifocality and circuits of dispossession, privilege, and resistance informed the documentation of inequities and resistance to understand the linkages of structural arrangements of power. Focus groups with families (n = 21) speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, and Cantonese were conducted. Findings indicate perceived discrimination, poor and inadequate interpretation and translation services impact children's access to special education services, hinder family's communication with schools and reduce the perceptions of schools as trustworthy institutions. Families advocate relentlessly for their children and recommend schools listen to families and hire culturally and linguistically competent interpreters and translators. Community psychologists can make significant contributions to promote language justice in education settings through participatory approaches to inquiry that value CLD families' knowledge and expertise

“…Recent political changes in Ethiopia have resulted in a divided society, with differing opinions on the sustainability and effectiveness of these changes [ 10 ]. Current political challenges stem from issues such as ethnic federalism, internal divisions within the ruling party, unemployment, propaganda, social inequality, and porous borders [ 11 , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] ]. These conditions have allowed dominant perspectives of privileged ethnic groups, particularly those in power, to shape the media landscape, potentially impacting the representation of multiculturalism emphasized in this study.…”

“…Critical theory, drawing from the enlightenment tradition, considers social science to be tasked with liberation from "unnecessary restrictive traditions, ideologies, assumptions, power relations, identity formations, and so forth, that inhibit or distort opportunities for autonomy, clarification of genuine needs and wants" (Alvesson & Willmott as cited in Callaghan, 2016). This theory is relevant to this study as it explores the power dynamics that permeate the neoliberal perspective, mapping the area between the powerful elites and the poor majority who have their 'basic rights' taken away from them.…”

This research aimed to explore the experiences and meanings that community members have attached to the South African government’s neoliberal and privatisation policies in historically disadvantaged suburbs. This study sought to understand how community members of Wentworth make sense of neoliberal and privatisation tactics. Using a qualitative research design, the study further sought to understand how the privatisation of basic services makes community members feel. Participants were community members of Wentworth, a suburb of the city of Durban, who have been residents in the community for more than ten years. Participants were selected using snowball sampling, and the researcher used semi-structured interviews to solicit points of view from the participants on their experiences of the privatisation of basic services in their area. Data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The analysis produced the following themes: unemployment, unsafe communities, poverty-stricken homes, government shortcomings, not having a place to call home, and dissatisfaction with life. The research revealed that the residents’ understanding of these changes were strongly influenced by the injustices of the past, which now manifest as class instead of race. Recommendations for practical implications and future research were made.
