The Literary Research Association has a web series focused on theory to practice that brings together Literary scholars to discuss topics effecting their respective field. In this broadcast, Critical Race Theory is introduced as a way to discuss and analyze literacy policies, in-service and pre-service teacher training, and educational gaps.
Watch the broadcast and think about its connections to the readings for this week. How have teacher trainings that don’t introduce race into the conversation disadvantage students in the classroom? Which point from the panelists was most effective in helping to connect the video to the readings from this week?
