For 30 years, Solórzano’s Research Apprenticeship Course (RAC) has been a space for scholars to develop their critical research agendas and pedagogies. This unique space comprises students, professionals, and community members who engage in the history and progress of doing research grounded in Critical Race Theory (CRT). This conference, 30 Years of RAC: Reconvening with Past and Current Critical Race Theorists in Education, brings past and present RAC members together to showcase the different Crits, Critical Race Methodologies, and Pedagogies and engage in the new directions for CRT.
