  In Roundtable Session: Humanizing Education Research Methodologies: Antiracist and Anticolonial Stories

Abstract

Guided by QuantCrit theory, we explore how researchers have used ethnoracial terminology in published, peer-reviewed studies over the last ten years. Our inquiry examines the presence of ethnoracial categories in educational research, including which categories are commonly used, how they vary overtime, and vary by research methods of the study.
