Campus Climate Research Into Curriculum Studies: Curricular Examinations of a Decade of Qualitative and Quantitative Research (Table 4)

• In Event: Fairmont Roundtable Session Four

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Our perceptions and experiences of educational environments are deeply intertwined with efforts to reimagine curriculum and pedagogy in ways that disrupt sexism, racism, heterosexism, and so on. Campus climate research is a key tool for understanding how different groups understand educational sites and inform action processes that name injustices and identify opportunities for more just academic study. While there is growing body of research on climate and teaching and learning, climate research remains largely unexplored in curriculum studies. Additionally, curriculum studies concepts have not been utilized to examine climate research. Work herein is significant for educational research that advances “humanizing, opportunity centered projects of impactful consequence” (Milner, 2022). This session will examine decades of Rankin Climate research utilizing curriculum lenses.
