Dixson, Adrienne D., Ed.; Ladson-Billings, Gloria J., Ed.; Suarez, Cecilia E., Ed.; Trent, William T., Ed.; Anderson, James D., Ed. – American Educational Research Association (AERA), 2020
The question of why we need to think about how we research race demands a conceptualization of race that captures both its social construction and its temporal evolution. We need both an understanding of race and clarity about how we talk about it in our design and conduct of research, and in how we interpret and apply it in our findings. As a…
