This research, grounded in Asian Critical Theory (AsianCrit), sheds light on the experiences of Asian educators and students within a large district school board in Ontario, Canada. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and focus groups conducted in Fall 2022, data was collected from over 1300 Asian-identifying respondents including students in Grades 7 to 12, teachers, and administrators. Data analysis identified three major findings: (a) the need for empowering Asian representation in the curriculum, (b) the lack of belonging in schools, and (c) the underrepresentation of diverse Asian identities among staff, especially in senior leadership positions. This research addresses a significant gap in the Canadian literature examining anti-Asian racism in schools and through a series of recommendations advocates for more equitable and inclusive educational environments.

摘要

This research, grounded in Asian Critical Theory (AsianCrit), sheds light on the experiences of Asian educators and students within a large district school board in Ontario, Canada. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and focus groups conducted in Fall 2022, data was collected from over 1300 Asian-identifying respondents including students in Grades 7 to 12, teachers, and administrators. Data analysis identified three major findings: (a) the need for empowering Asian representation in the curriculum, (b) the lack of belonging in schools, and (c) the underrepresentation of diverse Asian identities among staff, especially in senior leadership positions. This research addresses a significant gap in the Canadian literature examining anti-Asian racism in schools and through a series of recommendations advocates for more equitable and inclusive educational environments.
