Remote schooling during a pandemic: Visibly Muslim mothering and the entanglement of personal and political

Abstract

This experimental double‐conscious autoethnography narrates my navigation of remote learning after the COVID‐19 outbreak between mid‐March and early June 2020 as an apparent Muslim mother at a public school in upstate New York. To this end, using handwritten notes in a daily journal, I first delineated the process of becoming a visibly Muslim mother, which started earlier and reached a head after moving to the United States in 2018. In this way, using an autoethnographic style based on my experience of remote learning as a Muslim mother, I will present a dialog with feminist insights to reiterate that personal experience and cultural experience are incapable of being disentangled, that personal experience matters, and that all experience, however personal or private, is structured in a broader political and historical context.
