Abstract

Over the past several decades, researchers have produced a large and diverse body of research that explores the unequal ways that families engage in school choice. In short, families’ choices are mediated by their identities, contexts, and resources. The goal of this panel is to advance scholarship on the complexities of school choosing for historically marginalized students and their families. Each paper interrogates aspects of school choice that are under-examined in the current literature: under-studied populations, modes of choice, contexts, and processes. Taken together, these studies extend our understanding of the complex nature of school choice in general and the unique considerations for historically marginalized families in particular.
