Abstract

Born out of legal studies, CRT is a heuristic to explain race, class, gender, and power in the law. Within education, scholars employ CRT to understand power and privilege (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). One tenet of CRT, counter-narrative, operates as a methodological toolkit focused on storytelling as “evidence” to disrupt the normalcy of hegemony (hooks, 1989; Liu, 2020) as the definitive voice in curriculum, pedagogy, and education research broadly.
This session draws upon counter narrative to join eight individual projects across several regions–both nationally and internationally–to explore counter narratives of BIPOC students in varied contexts. Using a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods, we aim to disrupt static histories and discourses to boldly imagine new, more joyful, more liberated futures.
