Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session explores critical race theory (CRT) perspectives on critical issues in teacher education (Dixson, Anderson, & Donner, 2006; Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). The papers all investigate educational research that calls for social justice in addressing issues of race and racism in various areas of teacher education and pk-12 education, namely a) the historical and concrete dynamics that exist within the relationships and interactions between white women who teach children of Color; b) examining Black males’ identities through their nuanced experiences inside and outside of schooling contexts; c) and an interrogation of four analytic sites that advance racial justice in teacher education.
