In attempting to explore the many opportunities for global persons to understand the impact of culture in decision-making, we will navigate through collectivist and individualist cultures and spotlight a new framework to acquire knowledge—Cultural Educational Narratives.

Cultural Educational Narratives, defined as stories from experiences about education within a cultural community, will highlight the emerging research methodology of Testimonio grounded in Chicana feminist epistemology and Latina/Latino critical theory and originating in Latin American countries and how emerged data can be used to understand decision-making in an individual’s educational pursuit.

We will explore the connections between cultural studies and what lies ahead when the power of educational narratives is captured for future research in an international setting. Researchers may investigate the opportunities cultural educational narratives serve in various geographic areas, socioeconomic communities, and immigrant populations.
