ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the practices of adolescents who participate in American educational contexts, although the young people whose voices and draws on also share a wider, more global set of affiliations beyond their immediate geographical locations. It highlights the significance of attending to small and local moments of educational justice, through practices of care, cultivating community, and fostering belonging, that are mediated through access to digital cultural forms, artifacts, and spaces. The experiences of a group of college-going, undocumented activist youth help to illustrate the importance of agency in experiencing educational justice. By locating the conceptual complexity within an educational context, chapter wants to attempt a working definition of "educational justice". Focusing on seemingly small moments of an emerging multimodal composing practice, the following case seeks to highlight notions of educational justice that arise when digital youth are engaged as creators of digital texts and have control over how to make their own narratives visible.
