Systemic Racism and Educational Measurement: Confronting Injustice in Testing, Assessment, and Beyond (Routledge, 2023), a new book written by BC Lynch School of Education and Human Development Professor Michael Russell, provides a theoretical and historical reckoning with racism and oppression in the research and practice of testing, educational measurement, and assessment. Russell’s book is the first to posit that the theory of the White Racial Frame was, and continues to be, applied to the foundations, process, dissemination, and use of educational measurement, leading to instruments, findings, and decisions that perpetuate the racialized social structure of our nation. Russell is an expert in measurement, evaluation, statistics, and assessment and currently serves on the Technical Advisory Committees for several state assessment and accountability programs.
