The Fallout: Anti-CRT in Texas
Over the last year school districts have been the target of state laws that regulate curriculum, books, and conversations in schools. This podcast reports on the fallout of this law in Texas. Seven undergraduate students conducted a total of 41 interviews with students, teachers, and community members throughout the state, to understand how people made sense of this legislation. This class was a part of an undergraduate research class called Story Lab at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX. Story lab centers on producing narrative work grounded in social science and humanities research. Questions about this work should be directed to: hnoor@trinity.edu Dr. Habiba Noor, Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Education, Trinity University
