Abstract

This paper explores how participating in dialogue-based Dialogic Literary Gatherings (DLGs) transformed the educational experiences of marginalized 8th-grade students in Southeastern Ghana. An ethnographic case study, focusing on seven students' accounts, reveals that DLGs fostered egalitarian dialogue, enabling students to share grievances, improve peer relationships, boost self-confidence, and ultimately transform their educational experiences. The findings offer valuable insights for practitioners and stakeholders seeking innovative strategies to improve the experiences of marginalized students and enhance school retention.
