Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, issues of race, racism and social justice have garnered increased attention across the nation. Although some aspects of social justice, particularly cultural sensitivity and test bias, have received similar attention within the field of educational measurement, sharp focus of racism has alluded the field. This manuscript focuses narrowly on racism. Drawing on an expansive body of work in the field of sociology, several key theories of race and racism advanced over the past century are presented. Elements of these theories are then integrated into a model of systemic racism. This model is used to identify some of the ways in which educational measurement supports systemic racism as it operates in the United States. I then explore ways in which an anti-racist frame could be applied to combat the system of racism and reorient our work to support racial liberation.
将教育测量从系统性种族主义的代理人转变为反种族主义的奋斗者
摘要近年来,种族、种族主义和社会正义问题在全国范围内引起了越来越多的关注。尽管社会正义的某些方面,特别是文化敏感性和考试偏见,在教育测量领域也受到了类似的关注,但种族主义的尖锐焦点也暗示了这一领域。这份手稿只关注种族主义。根据社会学领域的大量工作,介绍了过去一个世纪提出的几个关于种族和种族主义的关键理论。然后,这些理论的元素被整合到系统性种族主义的模型中。该模型用于确定教育衡量在美国运作时支持系统性种族主义的一些方式。然后,我探讨了如何应用反种族主义框架来打击种族主义制度,并重新调整我们的工作以支持种族解放。
