This semester the Texas Center for Equity Promotion (TexCEP) has launched a series of Centering Equity workshops focused on important and relevant topics around health and education.
The first workshop, Decoding Race & Ethnicity in Your Scholarship, is a series of three discussions centered around race and ethnicity in equity-based research.
Join us for this first discussion session:
Key topics include:
- What are current approaches to racial/ethnic group classification, and what are the historical roots of the classification system used by the federal government?
- What are key concerns with current approaches to racial/ethnic classification from an education and health equity research perspective?
- What are emerging promising practices to measure racial/ethnic identity in more nuanced ways, including more intersectional approaches to measuring identity?
- How should researchers think about racial/ethnic identity and how does that sense of identity interact with the diverse identities of people within communities where research takes place?
- What are some of the challenges in capturing racial/ethnic data when using various research designs?
Panelists include the College of Education Dean Charles R. Martinez Jr. and Associate Professors Gigi Awad and North Cooc.
