Crossing Borders in Schools: Racialized Experiences and Inclusive Education

Abstract

My doctoral research seeks to examine and reveal the ways in which schools engage with multicultural and racially diverse communities as a means of achieving inclusive education. This research is actively intended to inform both contemporary multicultural policies and practice by exploring the experiences of visible minority families and students in their school locations. Using critical ethnography as the guiding methodology with a theoretical framework informed by Critical Race Theory (CRT) as practiced through anti-racism discourse, this research seeks to bring forward the perspectives and voices of racially minoritized populations to increase the understanding of diversity and address inclusive practices within the institution of education.
