2022 Award Recipients


Distinguished Career Contribution Award
Alfredo J. Artiles
Stanford University

Dr. Alfredo J. Artiles is the 2022 recipient of the Scholars of Color in Education Distinguished Career Contribution Award. Over nearly three decades, a hallmark of Dr. Artiles’ career has been utilizing an interdisciplinary lens to understand the paradoxes of educational equity and their consequences regarding two justice challenges: (1) the racialization of high incidence or mild disabilities, and (2) the design and implementation of inclusive education programs. From the beginning of his career, Dr. Artiles engaged in groundbreaking scholarship on disability and race, which is exemplified in his profoundly impactful 1994 co-authored article in the Journal of Special Education, which became the most cited article in the history of the flagship journal. Dr. Artiles has embraced complexity in his scholarship by utilizing interdisciplinary tools to reframe and refine the study of urgent social justice educational problems.

The Scholars of Color Distinguished Career Contribution Award is awarded to a senior-level scholar, usually 20 years or more after their receipt of the doctoral degree.
