Session Summary

"Never-Finished Justice Situations": New Directions for Critical Race Praxis in Educational Research

Tue, April 21, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

We offer a renewed focus for educational research on the collaborative possibilities of critical race praxis (CRP) by and for communities of color. We are scholars working alongside minoritized communities and draw upon critical race studies, ethnic studies, third world feminisms, and decolonial methodologies to understand the complex ways racialization and structures of power shape their educational experiences. Collectively, we develop a contemporary CRP through critical qualitative research papers that: 1) examine the utility of anti-colonialism and anti-racist literacies in an elementary classroom; 2) expand community cultural wealth through the conceptualization and application of emotional capital; 3) investigate the centrality of action within racial projects; and 4) propose a framework addressing the violences of toxic masculinity in educator activist formations.
