Critical Race Studies in Education
Currently, topics of Critical Education in schools are highly contested in public discourse with sensationalized opinions that seek to ban books, erase/rewrite US history, terminate ethnic studies programs, and outlaw critical conversations in K-12 education all together. As such, it is imperative to highlight, support, and uplift scholars and educational programs dedicated to bringing a critical lens to all levels of the educational system. This group will conduct weekly gatherings to discuss their own research, writing, and teaching on the topic and to work collectively to think about the ways Critical Race Studies in education can speak back to the many voices in and outside academia.
