This weekend I received one of those emails that makes a researcher's heart skip a beat:
This year the Critical Race Studies in Education Association (CRSEA) received a record number of proposals. Therefore, it is with great excitement that the CRSEA Program Chair Committee is pleased to inform you that your paper proposal, Parents, Teachers, and Title I: A CRT Analysis of Parent Engagement, has been accepted for the 2015 CRSEA Annual National Conference in Nashville, Tennessee May 27 – 29, 2015.
Needless to say, I jumped around like I had just won the lottery. So now I just have to figure out exactly what I will (and will not!) say. But it will be great to work on this important topic, and share my findings with other folks across the country who are thinking about race and schools.
In the meantime, I've had a couple requests to share the longer document(s) that will inform this presentation. I post the chapters here for all three of you that will be interested ;)
Chapter 1 : How Parent Engagement Has Been Understood
Chapter 2 : Parent Engagement as a Policy Strategy
Chapter 3 : Conflict and Sensemaking in the Parent-Teacher Relationship
Conclusion & Appendices : So where do we go from here?
