OUR MISSION
Researchers And Critical Educators is an organization of faculty at California State University, Fullerton. We are an interdisciplinary organization linked by our commitment to promoting excellent scholarship, applied research, and discussion of issues on the topics of race, ethnicity, class, culture, religion, linguistic diversity, disability, gender, and sexual orientation as well as other issues of diversity. This organization recognizes the changing demographic profile of our societal landscape, and in order to respond to this challenge, Researchers And Critical Educators supports active research and scholarship that significantly contributes to this growing body of academic inquiry. To this end, Researchers And Critical Educators works with relevant college and university offices to support new research, advance ongoing projects, and showcase scholarship through conference presentations and academic publications, and encourages individuals in the organization to enhance their leadership skills and become more actively involved in important university, community, and professional activities.
