Using an Antiracist Lens in School Counseling Research

Abstract

It is important for school counselors to learn more about antiracism and to incorporate antiracist concepts into their practice more consistently (Holcomb-McCoy, 2021; Mayes & Byrd, 2022; Stickl Haugen et al., 2022). Operating from a critical political standpoint perspective (Cushman, 1995; Prilleltensky, 1994), namely, critical race theory (CRT), we offer a conceptual framework for helping school counselors and counselor educators develop an antiracist lens that guides and informs their research agendas and research-informed practices.
