Not There Yet: Addressing Differential Educational Outcomes for Marginalized Populations in the Era of COVID-19

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

As education researchers, one of our greatest strengths is the ability to influence how education research is conducted and what evidence is shared to increase awareness, promote empowerment, and stimulate social change. Therefore, AERA Division D Equity and Inclusion Committee, in collaboration with NCME Diversity Issues in Testing Committee, has organized a panel of speakers from a range of interdisciplinary fields and social justice interests who will examine from diverse methodological and measurement perspectives the differential impact of COVID-19 on educational outcomes for marginalized populations. Also addressed are changes to research methods that are more grounded in the lived experience and ways of knowing of our communities as we continue our journey towards “cultivating equitable educational systems for the 21st century”.
