In this episode we discuss Critical Race Theory with Dr. Joanne Larson, the Michael W. Scandling Professor of Education and Associate Director of Research at the Center for Urban Education Success at the University of Rochester's Warner School of Education.
From national culture wars to local school board elections, Critical Race Theory has become a contested issue. What is Critical Race Theory, and what is it not? How has race and marginality been traditionally been taught in schools? Why might a new conceptual framework, such as the one provided by Critical Race Theory, be needed to provide for better educational and social outcomes?
