title = "What is {"}Nepantla{"} and how can it help physics education researchers conceptualize knowledge for teaching?",
abstract = "This article draws on Latina/Latino studies to offer physics education a potential framework for reconceptualizing the {"}knowledge{"} teachers will need to engage marginalized students. Drawing on Gloria Anzaldua's notion of Nepantla (a liminal space that facilitates transformation), I offer examples of teacher candidates as they come to recognize multiple realities in teaching mathematics to urban high school students. I suggest that as we prepare teachers, we must help them not only recognize a state of Nepantla (to see and participate in multiple realities) but also come to expect the uneasiness with being in that space as it offers potential for new knowledge.",
