The Center for Critical Race Studies in Education (CCRSE) at UCLA along with the staff, visiting scholars, and invited authors are dedicated to producing and publishing research with the goal of exploring questions related to theoretical frameworks, methodology, methods, conceptual tools, and practice associated with Critical Race Studies. The inaugural research briefs series was released in June 2016 with five issues. They explored cultural intuition, racial battle fatigue, racial microaggressions, critical race history methodology, and community cultural wealth.
About Us
Established in 2015, the Center for Critical Race Studies in Education at UCLA engages scholars and community members in interdisciplinary research that expands our understanding of crucial educational and social inequality issues. Centering the role of race, racism, and their intersectionality with other forms of discrimination such as sexism, classism, homophobia, and ableism, is key to the CCRSE mission. Producing and supporting research that explicitly highlights historical and contemporary issues impacting Communities of Color is an important step toward achieving educational equity.
