dc.description.abstract | This article reports on a study focusing on the use of multilingual cultural resources
in child-headed households (CHHs) in Uganda’s Rakai District. Using funds of
knowledge and sociocultural perspectives on children’s learning, we documented
through ethnographic observations and interviews how children in four CHHs used
multilingual cultural resources at home. Our findings show that children co-construct,
re-appropriate and remix stories, songs, riddles and proverbs from their cultural
environment in situated ways that are a response to the changing context of their
social worlds. The study provides a window onto the unique production and use of
multilingual cultural resources in CHHs, and further speaks to the need for educators
and policymakers to better understand the critical role of siblings in their own learning
of linguistic and cultural knowledge. | en_US |
