A Collection of Critical Race Counterstories: Disrupting Resegregation in Special Education Using QuantCrit
Sat, April 26, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 707Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
The unjust, racialized resegregation (overrepresentation) of Students of Color in the United States’ special education system remains persistent and pervasive. Further entrenching this injustice is quantitative research, which often relies on culturally deficit and eugenics-based rationales. These concerns motivated us to conceptualize an investigation, funded by the Spencer Foundation in 2024, in collaboration with the Delaware Department of Education. This research symposium—a collection of Critical Race Counterstories—demonstrates how QuantCrit, methodologically, informs changes to advance social and racial justice for Delaware communities. We present evidence of (a) resegregation in special education and (b) anti-racist teaching practices, policies, and regulations to disrupt it.
