Description
Towards Anti-Racist Educational Research: Radical Moments and Movements is a call for educational researchers and teachers to engage in the work needed to be anti-racist. In the academy, there is no place for neutrality when it comes to race. One either endorses the idea of a racial hierarchy or that of racial equality. Educators and researchers either believe problems are rooted in groups of people or locate the roots of problems in power and policies. Therefore, we can either allow racial inequities to continue or confront racial inequities. Delane Bender-Slack and Francis Godwyll work to confront those racial inequities in educational research. As they continue to grapple with their role in radical moments and movements-from various identities, perspectives, and positionalities-they strive to identify their intellectual, social, and cultural labor in their research, and in this writing, as anti-racist. The editors define what it could mean to be anti-racist in research methods, projects, and agendas, and they pose the following questions: How do we ask anti-racist research questions? How do we create anti-racist curricula? How do we design anti-racist policies? What does it mean to be racially humanizing educational researchers? How do we intentionally work towards racial justice?
Reviews / Votes
This book invites needed conversations around construals of race and how they play out in education, from the K-12 sector to the university. The authors bring a wide range of life experiences to their analyses and the topics addressed wrestle with complexity in revealing ways. -- Carol D. Lee, Northwestern University In this moment when educators/researchers at all levels of schooling are troubled by aggressive attacks against anti-racist pedagogy and curriculum, Towards Anti-Racist Educational Research: Radical Moments and Movements leans in and talks back. It is an important and timely reminder that anti-racist educational research engaged from multiple and diverse perspectives is critical to the ongoing struggle for more equity, more justice, and more peace in our schools, communities, and universities. -- Denise Taliaferro Baszile, Miami UniversityMore details
