Critical Race Theory and the Spatial Analysis: Cases of Praxis to Disrupt Racial Injustice

Sat, April 9, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Two, Marquis Salon 9

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session explores the potential for critical spatial analysis and Critical Race Theory to advance educational equity research. The panel will engage in discussion about the use of critical spatial methodologies across social, temporal, and cultural contexts, particularly within research centered on justice. This is important because, “Space is not an empty void. It is always filled with politics, ideology, and other forces shaping our lives” (Soja, 2010, p. 19). Therefore, we draw together space invaders, outsider scholars in the academy, who focus their work at different scales, across varied fields, and over a range of time periods in order to present the possibilities for dynamic and creative solutions addressing educational inequity and working towards racial justice (Aoki, 2000).
