CUHP045 Why Critical Race Theory is Necessary
Dr. Solórzano discusses what CRT really means and how it is misinterpreted and misused. Dr. Solórzano talks about his five tenets of CRT and how they can help us frame our discussions of CRT moving forward. His five tenets debunk current social and political agendas that guide an erroneous understanding of CRT. This was an interview that I conducted with Dr. Solórzano in August of 2023.
Dr. Daniel G. Solórzano is a professor in the University of California Los Angeles’ Departments of Education and Chicana/o and Central American Studies. He is also the Director of the Center for Critical Race Studies in Education at UCLA. He is an interdisciplinary scholar with research and teaching interests in critical race theory, racial microaggressions and microaffirmations, and critical race spatial analysis. He is the co-author (with Lindsay Perez Huber) of Racial Microaggressions: Using Critical Race Theory to Respond to Everyday Racism (2020), which examines how People of Color are impacted by and respond to everyday racism in the form of racial microaggressions. He is also co-editor (with Michaela Mares-Tamayo) of the award-winning anthology The Chicana/o Education Pipeline: History, Institutional Critique, and Resistance (2018), which traces 45 years of education scholarship in the oldest Chicana/o Studies journal in the U.S.—Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies.
