Privileging Power: Early Childhood Educators, Teachers, and Racial Socialization in Full-Day Kindergarten

Abstract

Dr. Zuhra Abawi is an assistant professor of education at Niagara University, Ontario. Her work focuses on the ways that discourses of race and identity are negotiated, mediated, and socialized in education. Her research seeks to recenter the voices of racialized and Indigenous children, families, and educators by problematizing whiteness and Eurocentric developmentalist discourses and curricula embedded in educational institutions.
