Ladson-Billings & Tate (1995) aligned the legal scholarship of critical race theory to education. We expand a 2022 conceptualization of gifted critical race theory (GTCrit), initially inspired by the racial atrocities that fueled #BlackLivesMatter, to be more inclusive of multiply marginalized populations. Participants will operationalize GTCrit as both a meaning-making theory and a social justice guide in their spheres of influence.
