In this in-person meeting of LLED Antiracist Caucuses (IBPOC/Racialized Caucus & White Caucus), we discussed the ways in which principles of antiracism can be integrated into the various aspects of research, with specific focus on different methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods) and the stages of the research process.

Discussion questions:
- How can we integrate anti-racism into:
- qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods methodologies? Do you have any examples from your own or others’ work?
- the various stages of research (e.g., planning, designing, data collection, data analysis, knowledge dissemination, etc.)?
- the various subfields or strands in literacy education, applied linguistics, and educational research?
