Abstract
The goal of this chapter goal is to map critical race theory (CRT) scholarship in education over the past decade and draw this map with respect to larger conceptual categories of the scholarship on CRT, primarily focusing on the ideas applied from CRT in legal studies. The chapter focuses primarily on the past 10 years and creates "spatial" markers based on the view of significant features in the literature. Some of these markers are whiteness as property, counternarrative, and interest convergence. Others are newly-represented such as microaggressions, intersectionality, and research methods. From the perspective of far too many students of color in schools, we are STILL not saved. While the chapter outlines several recommendations for CRT scholarship to move forward, perhaps the most important recommendation is to collectively seek to ensure that CRT becomes more than an intellectual movement.

Mathematical Inqu[ee]ry: beyond ‘Add-Queers-and-Stir’ elementary mathematics education

TL;DR: The authors distinguish between two common uses of the term "queer" and delineate two sets of approaches based upon them: approaches shaped by 'queer liberalism' with a focus on inclusion, which result in what might be called "Add-Queers-and-Stir" elementary mathematics education; and Mathematical Inqu[ee]ry, a queer theoretical approach, in which students and teachers might queer "family,’ "rhetoric, and time" in an elementary classroom.
