Critical Race Theory in Composition

Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Composition examines how race and racism influence writing, teaching, and learning processes in educational settings. It highlights how systemic inequalities affect students' experiences and opportunities. In rhetoric and composition, CRT encourages educators to reflect on their own biases, promote diverse voices, and create inclusive environments where all students can express their identities through writing. By recognizing the historical and social contexts of language and expression, CRT aims to foster equitable practices in teaching, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and relevance of writing instruction across diverse communities.
