E21: Critical Race Theory — Challenging Narratives and Validating Stories of Marginalized People and People of Colour

Tune in, hit play, and get inspired as Ibrahim Turay, instructor in the School of Justice Studies at Lethbridge College explains how Critical Race Theory (CRT) methodology objectively values and validates the stories of marginalized people and people of colour. Ibrahim gets frank about how it's vital to practice a CRT approach to help not only expand current learning pathways but to help us rewrite harmful narratives that can trap our thinking. 

During the podcast, Ibrahim mentions: 

• Kimberlé Crenshaw who coined the term, “intersectionality” 
• Mixed Methods Research (which Ibrahim has been combining with CRT in his own research) 
• That he’s a Temne man, which is an ethnic group from Sierra Leone where he was born 
• Derrick Bell, the “father” of Critical Race Theory 
• Bell Hooks' books: Teaching to Transgress: Education as the practice of freedom; Writing Beyond Race: Living Theory and Practice
• Black History Month
• Lethbridge College’s Black History Month Celebrations, including the documentary: John Ware Reclaimed; a Human Library on February 17 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm at the Aquarium
• The University of Lethbridge’s Black History Month Celebrations
