58.034 - Putting Policy Into Perspective: Exposing Racializing Discourses Through Explorations of Minoritized Students' Perceptions and Practices

Sun, April 30, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Fourth Floor, Crockett A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel features interdisciplinary perspectives and qualitative methodologies that are used to expose the racializing and hegemonic ideologies woven into the discourses of various educational policies (e.g., English-only policies, Common Core State Standards). The languages of problem-solving practicality, political neutrality, and scientific objectivity connected to these policies often erases the raciolinguistic realities of the students most directly impacted by such policies. In response, we listened to and amplified a range of voices of young people who have been linguistically and racially marginalized. By doing so, we ensure that our inquiry is relevant and informative to the field. Together, our papers help reconceptualize the ways that marginalized students are commonly understood in education research to increase educational equity for these students.
