Research Topic: 
Acompañamiento as Pedagogy Among North Texas Immigrant Rights Youth Activists
Abstract: 
This research examines mutual and collective teaching and learning among activist youth in an immigrant rights organization based in North Texas. The concepts of acompañamiento and third spaces as locations for the development of political thought will be used to frame the ways in which youth involved in the immigrant rights movement challenge aspects of the undocumented experience.
