Who curates this website?
Marcus Croom, Ph.D., a scholar of race and literacies, curates this website. Croom developed the concept of racial literacies to synthesize research on "racial literacy" and to theorize this work within a practice analysis of race, including macro-, meso-, and microlevels.
A number of publications across various researchers and disciplines have informed Croom's concept of racial literacies. Key publications about "racial literacy" include the work of sociologist France Winddance Twine, legal scholar Lani Guinier, English education scholar Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, literacy education scholar Rebecca Rogers, and psychologist Howard C. Stevenson among others. Croom's practice of race theory (PRT) and race critical practice analysis is influenced by W. Edward Burghardt DuBois, Lev Vygotsky, Stuart Hall, St. Clair Drake, Kirt H. Wilson, Na'ilah Suad Nasir & Victoria M. Hand, Paul Warmington, Zeus Leonardo, Siep Stuurman, David Bloome, and others.
Marcus Croom earned his Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, through the Literacy, Language, and Culture program of the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, by making a theoretical and empirical contribution to the fields of Education and Literacy.
