Some reflections on this thread before we get back to our regular tweeting of events & center news... 1/5 https://twitter.com/castl_uva/status/1309121788086030337">https://twitter.com/castl_uva...

These researchers are doing the hard, incremental work of helping us understand Black experiences in our country and in our education system. 2/5

They are looking at unique experiences of Black boys and Black girls, identity formation in the context of racism and bias, how policy and law shape children& #39;s lives, and many other topics. Many other colleagues are doing this work alongside them - 26 doesn& #39;t scratch the surface.

We also want to note that there are many Black scholars doing work that isn& #39;t focused on race but is still enriching our understanding of teaching, learning, cognition, psychology, development, and education. That wasn& #39;t the focus of this thread, but we see & appreciate you, too.

Let& #39;s keep reflecting on what we do and how we do it, how the systems and mores and customs we& #39;ve grown up with influence our work as social scientists. Please share thoughts, ideas, and researchers who inspire you to do better work. 5/5
