“…This facilitates a paradigm shift in understanding how our unique experiences shaped by race, socioeconomic status, and structural barriers have equipped us with the tools necessary for academic success. We select articles from FGWC scholars and discuss how they mirror the students' experiences, what strategies are shared for navigating academia, and celebrate their successes (see Du Bois 1960;Fernández 2020;Martinez-Cola 2020;Yosso 2005).

El Puente Research Fellowship is a transformative program that uses culturally relevant and reflective pedagogies, curriculum, and praxis for first-generation, working-class college students beyond the traditional classroom. Drawing on the Chicana/Latina feminist epistemologies of plática and convivencia, we argue that the practice of convivencia facilitates a relational and collective learning environment that allows students to learn from one another, build relationships of authentic caring, and support one another academically and holistically. Through our plática, we illuminate the ways convivencia manifests in our pedagogical and curricular approaches. As a teaching framework, the implementation of convivencia in classes, research programs, and learning environments paves the way for new forms of teaching and learning that value and center collective and cultural learning practices from the home. We conclude with practical tools, strategies, and reformulations of classroom environments that can be applied in sociology classrooms and beyond.
