This course investigates how critical race theory (CRT) has been applied to K to 12 and higher education qualitative research, focusing on intersectional oppression. Examining various qualitative methods and methodologies, students will design their own preK to 12 or higher education pilot project, selecting a topic of their choice. The pilot project will assist with developing analytical skills regarding critical race intersectional thematic coding processes using NVivo software. Through independent reading and discussions, the course also reviews historical oppressive education research programs. How knowledge systems are racialized and gendered will be considered, in addition to relationships amongst research, racial justice, and decolonization. Integrated throughout the course, students will discuss their positionality as researchers, investigate the value of reflexivity, and examine the political implications and ethical responsibilities of critical race intersectional qualitative education research.

Restriction(s): Course open to students in Educational Foundations, College of Education.
