Critical Race Theory (CRT)

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic framework that examines how race and racism intersect with laws, policies, and society. It explores how systemic inequalities and historical power structures contribute to ongoing disparities for marginalized racial groups. CRT emphasizes that racism is not just individual bias but embedded in legal and institutional practices. It encourages analyzing and challenging these systemic issues to promote racial justice and equity. CRT is often used in education, law, and social sciences to better understand and address the root causes of racial inequality.
