Largely agree, except in that sentence, I thought EBS was squarely associated with the field (example paper: https://www.asanet.org/more-prejudice-restatement-reflections-and-new-directions-critical-race-theory), whereas Ian Haney Lopez, in my mind, is more associated with the “Race-Class Narrative” project, which I personally see as a partial, but not far enough, challenge to common CRT notions about the limits of liberal democracy to end racial inequality.
Associated, yes … and working from the same “conflict theory” …yet refers there to his “social system approach”.
My point is that we need to be careful — at FAIR — of not painting everything that *sounds* like “CRT” *as* “CRT” if we are to live up to our mission of seeking common understanding. That became clear to me after *actually* reading people like EBS.
Thanks for the additional insight. I imagine this could be a helpful conversation over tea! Cheers.
Agree!! And not everything associated with CRT is automatically wrong/bad, just needs to be evaluated skeptically and in detail. Sometimes there is wheat in the chaff, sometimes the whole thing is rotten… takes critical thought and an open mind.
