Refusing Limitation, Protecting Public Education: Researchers and Practitioners Responding Together to K12 DEI Attacks

Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 301A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Researchers and practitioners will share recent collaborative work exploring and responding to attacks on DEI in K12 education. We then invite dialogue on related experiences. We share new research analyzing recent attacks on race- and diversity-related work in education, and educator, student, and community responses to “DEI” attacks—including in a “limitation effect” threatening K12 learning opportunities as restriction pressures cascade through systems. We then share research synthesis and networking efforts designed to collectively sustain education opportunity in an era of attack. Two leaders of state networks working to prevent harm from anti “DEI” policies respond as discussants and share their work. Audience members then are invited to share experiences and responses, including as “DEI” attacks scaling federally threaten education overall.
