Session Type: Symposium
This symposium presents the major findings from two national research teams tasked with constructing research agendas for the future of equity-centered rural education scholarship. One team, sponsored by the Spencer Foundation’s Convening on Equity and Rural Education, conducted an interdisciplinary examination of race and educational equity in rural contexts that combines community-based participatory research, critical research review, and critical policy analysis. The second team, funded by the NREA, investigated the intersection of equity and access with policy and funding, teacher/leader recruitment, retention, and preparation, college/career trajectory, community partnerships and relationships, and health/wellness. Each team will present two papers to detail methods, findings, and research agendas. An expert discussant will synthesize the research and facilitate a discussion with attendees.
