This is a newly formed student-led CRT reading group starting this summer term on the 20^th of June, 2017. It is formed following expression of interest by Doctoral students who plan to use CRT in their research and/or those who would like to engage in a scholarly discussion on CRT, an extremely interesting and fast growing theoretical and methodological lens exciting interest from an increasing number of educational researchers.

At this initial stage, this reading group will focus on understanding what CRT is, its history and its basic tenets. Beginning this autumn term, the group will read chapters from the book Taylor, Gillborn & Ladson Billings (2016) ‘Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education (2nd Edition). The topics for this term are listed in the table below along with dates and rooms.

Through the reading of and the focused discussion on the articles listed below, this reading group will offer the opportunity to deepen our understanding of the very essence of CRT and some of its key tenets such as the permanence of racism, critique of liberalism, its link to intersectionality and the focus on the experiential knowledge of blacks and other minorities.
