ABSTRACT

This article serves as the introduction to a special edition of the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Education (REE) dedicated to Disability Critical Race Theory (DisCrit). We begin by sharing the seven tenets of in DisCrit, acknowledging our indebtedness to scholars of color who originally developed theories of intersectionality. Next, we discuss ways in which, from its original publication in REE (2013), DisCrit has gained traction as a theoretical tool that is increasingly used in research and practice. Then, we briefly summarize and comment upon the eight featured articles in this special edition. Each article has been purposefully selected to reflect a broad scope of interests – from empirical research to theoretical papers seeking changes within schools, communities, teacher education programs, research practices, and global connections. All contributions are from the USA as a way to consider ways in which DisCrit is being utilized in one country, while encouraging further intra-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and global conversations.

摘要

本文是《种族、民族和教育杂志》 (REE) 专刊于残疾批判种族理论 (DisCrit) 的特刊的介绍。我们首先分享 DisCrit 的七个原则，感谢最初开发交叉性理论的有色人种学者。接下来，我们讨论如何从其在REE 上的原始出版物中(2013)，DisCrit 作为越来越多地用于研究和实践的理论工具而受到关注。然后，我们对本期特刊中的八篇专题文章进行简要总结和评论。每篇文章都经过精心挑选，以反映广泛的兴趣——从实证研究到寻求在学校、社区、教师教育计划、研究实践和全球联系中进行变革的理论论文。所有贡献都来自美国，以考虑在一个国家/地区使用 DisCrit 的方式，同时鼓励进一步的学科内、跨学科和全球对话。
