Abstract Details

2023, MA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
Critical Race Theory is a school of thought that targets inequality and challenges established thought on racial disparities in society to identify and dismantle the systems that support these inequalities. Like many other societal systems, education can promote racial inequalities, funneling marginalized students into the school-to-prison pipeline. CRT can guide art educators to self-reflect and transform their art instruction and curriculum to promote environments and pedagogies that create equitable and inclusive educational opportunities for all students. Through a series of interviews with educators teaching through a CRT lens, the research has identified academic obstacles facing diverse students, examples of systemic racism upholding white supremacy, and strategies educators use to advocate for a higher-quality, equitable, and inclusive art education. Through the stories and experiences of art educators influenced by CRT principles, we can begin to understand the impact a socially ethical, inclusive, and equitable CRT-inspired instruction can have on a student population.
