Majoritarian Stories and Counterstories: Critical Race Theory Approaches
for Countering Deficit Discourse in Higher Education
Abstract
This paper employs critical discourse analysis to interrogate rhetorics
of academic deficit subtending institutional neglect of equitable
opportunity for students of color at U.S. postsecondary institutions. It
further reviews Critical Race Theory literature in education, paying
special attention to research that foregrounds social class as a
discriminate variable distinguishing truly liberatory pedagogies from
the merely critical.
