What Derrick Bell Knew: The Legacy of Critical Race Theory on Education Scholarship

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

This symposium will be an opportunity for education researchers who have worked in Bell’s tradition to describe how his work influenced and shaped their scholarship. Rather than a showcase of individual scholars’ work, participants in this symposium will address one particular book, article, or chapter written by Bell and describe its relevance to his or her work. The goal of the symposium is to draw direct connections between Derrick Bell’s scholarship and education research on race.
