1. Reflections on Our Journeys through Critical Race Theory in Higher Education: A Three Generation Plática

Abstract

Abstract: This article tells the stories of our journeys through Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Higher Education, beginning in 1993 for Danny and in 2007 for Tanya. We first use Chicana/Latina Feminista plática methodology using the pivotal moments and interventions involving people, places, and written and visual materials to share our coming to CRT. Next, using a variation of counterstorytelling methodology and a 1997 interview and 2019 Association for the Study of Higher Education talk, we bring our colleague Dolores Delgado Bernal into the plática. Moving forward, we look to the future by highlighting promising directions in CRT in the last decade. Finally, the article concludes with a call for others to join us in sharing their own pivotal events, origin stories, and genealogies as they write themselves into CRT.
