These researchers are doing the hard, incremental work of helping us understand Black experiences in our country and in our education system. 2/5
They are looking at unique experiences of Black boys and Black girls, identity formation in the context of racism and bias, how policy and law shape children's lives, and many other topics. Many other colleagues are doing this work alongside them - 26 doesn't scratch the surface.
We also want to note that there are many Black scholars doing work that isn't focused on race but is still enriching our understanding of teaching, learning, cognition, psychology, development, and education. That wasn't the focus of this thread, but we see & appreciate you, too.
Let's keep reflecting on what we do and how we do it, how the systems and mores and customs we've grown up with influence our work as social scientists. Please share thoughts, ideas, and researchers who inspire you to do better work. 5/5
