Carter 1 and Na’ilah Suad Nasir  \nUniversity of California Berkeley  \nDean Carter: Professor Nasir’s research examines the racialized and cultural nature of learning and schooling, and the socio-cultural and political context of learning, especially in contexts with inequities and low educational outcomes. For those of you who don’t know, Professor Nasir was selected as the next president of the Spencer Foundation, the nation’s foremost philanthropic organization whose express purpose is to support and underwrite educational research. Here stands a history maker. I believe that you are the first woman of color to lead the foundation, and likely, one of the first women of color to lead a major foundation committed to academic research. I am deeply honored to be in your presence.  \nProfessor Nasir and I are going to have a conversation here today. To start us off, we will try to set the tone this morning by asking some big questions of each other, of you, around where we are today in terms of educational research in the 21st century. In terms of thinking about the state of educational research, we ask: What should we be thinking about in this moment? What’s pressing in terms of directions? And whatever else you want to talk about, so here we go. I will start off by asking you, Professor Nasir, what’son your mind about where you believe educational research might need to be headed in the next decade or so.  \nProfessor Nasir: Thank you, good morning. I am also deeply honored and humbled to have this conversation with you. So, what’s on my mind? There is a lot on my mind. There has been a lot on my mind when I think about this next career phase for me, and what it means to lead the Spencer Foundation. I have been thinking about the state of our field and where we should be headed. I feel like I have spent the last year and a half thinking deeply about this place and this campus, how we think about equity, and how we have built equitable structures here at a variety of levels. And so, I want to preface my comments by saying: This is, for me, an unprecedented historical moment in our country, and so it ’s been the context for almost everything I have been thinking about since the November election of President Trump. How did we get to this place where there is a national platform for bigotry that has not been around since the 50s, at least? I think about our role as a field in relation to that and wonder where we dropped the ball. Where did we as a country drop the ball?  \n1 Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to: Prudence L.

The first is the impact of our work. We have, I think as a field, had a bit of an inferiority complex, much like psychology a generation before, which is we have wanted to prove that our research is rigorous enough—is good enough—and in doing so, we have separated ourselves from practice. You see this when you look at the top 10 education schools, including Berkeley. We have to re-engage in thinking about the big problems of our field, and we need to work to help solve some","cbCaipNoY36ZsMv0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipNoY36ZsMv0","pdf",196982,"English","# Reimagining Educational Research: A Conversation\n## Framing big questions for the field\n## The role of impact and translation\n## Equity, access, and reducing educational inequality","[{\"question\":\"What major issue do Carter and Nasir say educational research should address in the next decade?\",\"answer\":\"They emphasize the impact of research and the need to tackle major educational problems such as access, equity, and educational inequality, collaboratively rather than in isolated disciplinary silos.\"},{\"question\":\"How do they describe the relationship between educational research and practice?\",\"answer\":\"They argue the field has separated itself from practice and needs to re-engage with the big problems, not just produce rigorous work that is connected only afterwards.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do they stress translating research to educational policy and schools?\",\"answer\":\"They note that more attention must be given to consumers of research, including policymakers, school districts, and educators, so scholarship can better support how others do their work.\"}]","Reimagining Educational Research: A Conversation - Conversation | PDF",1792079710]
