However, we can easily change the term without being inaccurate to non ‘othering’ alternatives like ‘category not listed’ or ‘another race/ethnicity not listed’.
I never considered this as apa has an ethical guideline that contains other, so this is very beneficial to learn
For example, Hispanic people were not counted until the 1970 Census, and before that they were classified as white
literally why?...
Giving communities a voice in creating and shaping that data is essential for using data with a social justice orientation.
letting communities shape the research
Of those 64 studies only 29 met all of the criteria.
less than half!
Numbers are not neutral
should be the tag line of our class haha
Applying QuantCrit is reckoning with the racist structures that have existed and exist, and examining your role in them (Garcia, López, and Vélez 2018) to transform your research practice in the service of more informed, racially conscious, and equitable ways
Overlap with positionality here
Higher education in particular witnessed another reinvestment in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts with reinvigorated commitments to faculty cluster hires, cur-ricular revisions, and changes to admissions criteria
only to be halted a few years later...
media
one of my favorite psychology courses talked about how media discriminates against certain cultures by making them the "ugly" character and how that can internalize bias. I recently watched how to train your dragon and the villian was the only character of a different race... why?!
system for tracking complications
imagine if the US put a FRACTION of the obsession with prolife/prochoice into actually improving birth complications
neither education nor income level—the factors usually invoked when attempting to account for healthcare outcomes that diverge along racial lines—impacted the fates of Black women giving birth.4 On the contrary, the data showed that Black women with college degrees suffered more severe complications of pregnancy and childbirth than white women without high school diplomas.d-undefined, .lh-undefined { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) !important; }141.
woah
The highest quality preparation programs are often generated in collaboration with local educational agencies and other key stakeholders (Anderson et al., 2017; Orr & Barber, 2007).
Yes!! Partnerships with diverse stakeholders seems so vital to collectively improving programs
From 2003-2004 to 2016-2017, special education enrollment fell by 32,000 students, while statewide enrollment grew by approximately one million.
Data doesn't lie...
systematically denied special education services
This is so disappointing
school. So once again, the children with the least resources receive the least academic s
But then it's their "achievement" that's the issue?
late 1960s my colleagues told me as we prepared for back-to-school night, not to get my hopes up because "these parents just don't care" and I should not expect them to atte
strange to assume that bc parents can't attend that they all "just don't care"
they do not address the cumulative effect of such income disparities.
Which can be generational
various standardized test measures
Which are biased as is
But none of the variants was so prevalent that the researchers could use them to predict a person’s sexual identity.
And yet they are still advertising in such a way that influences people to pay for the test
The human victims of WMDs,we’ll see time and again, are held to a far higher standard of evidence
Which is further paradoxically since the algorithms were created by humans
It’s an algorithm, theywere told. It’s very complex. This discouraged many from pressingfurther.
Instead of providing information they use the perceived complexity to keep teachers in the dark
evaluation system.
External evaluation, can account for lack of weight with internal reviews
Rhee developed a teacherassessment tool called IMPACT, and at the end of the 2009–10 schoolyear the district fired all the teachers whose scores put them in thebottom 2 percent. At the end of the following year, another 5 percent, or206 teachers, were booted out.
I'm curious what measures went into this assessment. I'd hope the same students were evaluated across teachers
They were predicting our trustworthiness and calculating our potential asstudents, workers, lovers, criminals
wow
and begins its own work by asking
I love this paragraph. It speaks to the power of recognizing the ways you are privileged AND oppressed

It is disheartening to think how much extra pressure Christine felt during this time as a female
