    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In this qualitative study, I examine the intersections of learner\nidentity, power, and language through the experiences and insights of Latina/o 2nd-generation middle-class children who occupy a unique positionality between the discourses surrounding\nbilingual education. Through narrative inquiry, emerging bilingual middle-class students actualize nonbinary thinking, able to\ndepict identity as an inherently multifaceted process of construction. Their ways of knowing and experiences as language learners\nultimately shape an outsider-within space, rupturing traditional\nbinaries within bilingual education, namely EO/EL (English only\nversus English learner) and class binaries. They also proffer queer\nand cyber identities as additional salient variables that plow into\nlanguage identity. In the end, these learners frame the contradiction and nuance of language learner identity, not as one of struggle, but as one of differential agency, the ability to move in and\nout of contradictory identities as both strong and advantageous\ntactics.",
