Race and Culturally Responsive Inquiry in Education examines how
assumptions about race and culture have shaped US education
research and the interpretation and implementation of its results.
This ambitious volume sheds light on the detrimental effects of
educational praxis and policies that have characterized communities
of color and historically underserved communities as deficient. It
reveals how such bias has affected many facets of educational
inquiry, from research design and planning to education policy
making and evaluation practices. The provocative essays in this
work challenge traditional suppositions about whose evidence
matters, highlighting approaches for reframing educational inquiry
and arguing for the adoption of a culturally responsive stance that
can correct inequities by accounting for students' diverse
backgrounds and needs. Edited by Stafford L. Hood, Henry T.
Frierson, Rodney K. Hopson, and Keena N. Arbuthnot and featuring
contributions from leading and emerging scholars, the collection is
organized around three key areas-education research, educational
assessment, and program evaluation. The contributors identify
provocative problems that exist at the intersection of race and
education in these areas, and they illuminate the many ways in
which education reform can address intersectionality. Calling for
effective action, they suggest compelling solutions for
consideration by policy makers and practitioners as well as
researchers. Together, the essays in this volume make the case that
culturally responsive methods that deepen our understanding of
educational disparities, appropriately measure what students know
and can do, and ensure that we have accurate information about the
effectiveness of educational interventions can improve educational
outcomes for diverse learners.
