Critical Intersections of K-12 Education and Racial Diversity

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

What does it mean for graduate students to study educators through racialized lenses? What lessons can we glean from methodological, epistemological, and ontological approaches that center identity and education at this critical time? In this panel, we explore these themes of teacher diversity, restorative justice, and culturally responsive curricula - among other topics - by elevating work from across the country towards new knowledge from students looking to disrupt narratives in the community.
