is this black enough? provocations and contemplations
abstract
through my master of education studies at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜
, i have aimed to
conceptualize intersectional experiences within education while theorizing the outcomes of race
in education. as a racialized person who grew up in a neighbourhood that is considered “at
risk”, i consider my educational experiences to be uniquely situated in a paradox of
sorts. despite the limit-situations presented in my environment, i was able to set myself apart
from some of my peers who experienced less academic success, less student achievement, and
less life readiness. the ability of some to overcome certain conditions despite their environment,
particularly in education, is curious to me. within this portfolio, i am seeking to explore the
relationship between race and education within the greater toronto area. it is my hope that
readers will travel with me through this multilayered voyage. much like a multi-city trip, this
portfolio will have a few destinations as a part of our itinerary. we will begin with a literature
review that focuses on the identity, power, class and experiences of racialized individuals. it is
my belief that this review will lay the foundation for anyone who explores race in education as it
introduces readers to the subject matter and engages a critical lens towards social constructs.
next, is a presentation that was shared at an arts conference held at the university of toronto,
ontario institute for studies in education. this presentation shows the work of the community
arts sector, and the ways that this sector addresses educational gaps amongst racialized and
marginalized 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
that formal schooling often misses. finally, the last item on the itinerary
is a series of both academic and op-ed articles. one of the articles in that series was written after
on a round table discussion that shared and analyzed the perspectives of black adults who were
former ontario high school 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
who experienced the streaming process. these experiences
showed the unique perspectives of streaming as racial discrimination, and underscored the lasting impacts of the streaming process in the lives of young black adults in the gta. through
these pieces, i have curated a variety of sources that aim to paint a clearer picture of the
relationship that exists between race and education. as i unpack the educational achievements
and under achievements of many racialized youth in the school system, please view the
proceeding with the understanding that the experiences shared are not representative of all
racialized peoples. rather, these are only a few poignant and intimate findings that exist
amongst a plethora of diverse racialized experiences in education.
