Avoid the essentialism trap! In this video, NCWIT senior research scientist, Dr. Beth Quinn, provides an overview of a novel approach — developed with NCWIT’s Dr. Wendy DuBow and consultant David Sul — to understanding potential differences among students by decentering the usual demographic categories. While this work focuses on community college students, the theoretical approach is applicable to students in other educational contexts.
