This session is consequential for the education research field in two ways. First, participants will share findings about the current landscape of community-based education for racially minoritized youth in the U.S. based on research with various actors in the out-of-school time (OST) sector, including scholars, practitioners, youth participants, and policy influencers. Second, presentations draw explicitly on varied theoretical and methodological approaches, including critical race theory, sociology of education, learning sciences, and participatory action research, to surface tensions and contradictions facing the OST sector. This session will be livestreamed on the Annual Meeting online platform and mobile app.
