One of the many lines of research Dr. Lindsay Pérez Huber examines in her work includes investigating the lack of affirmative representations of People of Color in children’s books. In her recent article “Rooting Out Racism in Children’s Books” for the blog, The Conversation, Dr. Pérez Huber theorizes how Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Education can be utilized with a Critical Content Analysis to provide a new framework for the examination of race, class, gender, (and other intersectionalities) in children’s books about People of Color.
