Level Matters: Inter- and Intra- District Analyses Exploring Nuances in Racialized Power Across Space and Place Over Time

Sun, April 14, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 113A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium surfaces how analyses can more clearly root in racialized realities to inform ways that powerful entities reify–and in some cases combat–entrenched hierarchies. The first project is a novel framework for how four dimensions–race, space, place, and time–are co-constitutated in school districts, inviting more nuanced inter- and intra-district analyses. The next projects concretely examine how these dimensions interact–including state financial accountability on district resources, rural school closures disproportionately impacting Black and Brown students, how trajectories of racial bias impact contexts for racially minoritized students, and historicizing Black community sensemaking. These represent possibilities of resisting analyses that flatten nuances, and instead surfacing findings that emerge when the level of analysis is centered.
