Abstract

The papers in this session interconnect through the use of a Critical Race Educational History (CREH) methodology. By spotlighting the methodological tools that constitute a CREH approach, the scholars in this session (a) reclaim and share historical narratives of Chicana/o education throughout the Southwest, and (b) bridge critical race theory (CRT) in education, history, and pedagogy as a present praxis of empowerment. This research and writing of educational history is especially informed by the panelists’ personal, professional, and academic commitments to more equitable Chicana/o-Latina/o education. This session also serves as an open space for furthering a dialogue on the possibilities and challenges associated with explicitly applying CRT frameworks to historical research in the pursuit of educational equity.
