This edited volume foregrounds Disability Critical Race Theory (DisCrit) as an intersectional framework that has informed scholarly analyses of racism and ableism from the personal to the global - offering important interventions into theory, practice, policy, and research. The authors offer deep personal explorations, innovative interventions aimed at transforming schools, communities, and research practices, and expansive engagements and global conversations around what it means for theory to travel beyond its original borders or concerns. The chapters in this book use DisCrit as a springboard for further thinking, illustrating its role in fostering transgressive, equity-based, and action-oriented scholarship. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Race Ethnicity and Education.
