The E.F. Lindquist Award Lecture will be given by Howard Wainer, Distinguished Research Scientist at the National Board of Medical Examiners and Emeritus Professor (adjunct) of Statistics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Wainer has a long-standing interest in the use of graphical methods for data analysis and communication, robust statistical methodology, and the development and application of generalizations of item response theory.—will consider the contribution critical race theory (CRT) has made to educational scholarship and examine the progress made in terms of the field’s understanding of racial inequity in education since CRT was first introduced to the field.

Public Scholars on the Social Impact of School-Related Inequalities: Perspectives from Multiple Disciplines

8:15 to 9:45 a.m., Convention Center, Level Two, Room 202 A

Recent research provides strong evidence that unequal educational outcomes between richer and poorer students are due in part to curricular inequalities occurring within schools and between schools. Accordingly, rather than ameliorating background inequalities, the U.S. educational system may be exacerbating them. This session premiers a new short video—an artifact of public scholarship that communicates these research findings. Scholars from multiple disciplinary perspectives (sociology, economics, political science, and educational theory) will discuss implications of this research. Session participants include Greg Duncan (University of California – Irvine), Jennifer Jennings (New York University), Debra Satz (Stanford University), Bob Wise (Alliance for Excellent Education), Michael Cohen (Achieve).
