Where are the Black students in Bilingual Education?:
Critical Race Pedagogy for Social Justice in Bilingual Education
To address racial inequity and how the identities, experiences, and specific needs of Black students have been mostly ignored in bilingual education, we must reckon with social justice problems of racism and anti-Blackness in research, school programs, curriculum, and instructional practices. This presentation explores how we can center Black students in bilingual education and introduces a critical race pedagogy for language teaching to promote antiracism, equity-mindedness, and greater inclusivity and belonging for marginalized populations.
