The “Critical Race Theory Webinar” posits that while both the left and right-focus mainstream media channels have a lot to say about CRT with their own inherent biases, more public discussions with experts about what CRT is and is not are solely needed. This project is one of three funded through the Pullias Center Equity Alumni Awards in 2022.

Project Overview and Goals
What is Critical Race Theory (CRT)?
This oft-misunderstood theory has elicited strong responses and moral panic, with some researchers suggesting that CRT is not a theory and questioning its rigor and validity.
In this webinar, Pullias Center alumni Raquel M. Rall and Antar Tichavakunda explored what CRT is and is not with a panel of scholars whose research and practice is grounded in CRT.
Panelists:
Kaleb Briscoe — Mississippi State University
Nichole Garcia — Rutgers University
Aja Martinez — University of North Texas
Victor Ray — University of Iowa

This project was selected as one of three recipients of the Pullias Center Equity Alumni Award in August 2022 to mark the 27th anniversary of the Pullias Center. Each of the three projects features an alumna or alumnus of the Pullias Center exploring a different facet of systemic racism that directly impacts Black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) access to education, specifically postsecondary education.
