| Abstract: | Rightful presence as a concept was first introduced in writings about sanctuary cities and the global refugee crisis. Education scholars have reimagined it as a way to explore issues of educational (in)equity at the classroom level. SWIFT Education Center extended the concept of rightful presence, applying it at the educational systems level as a foundation for building equity and justice for students, families, and communities who often experience the inequities in the current system. This brief defines rightful presence in education systems and provides one example. |
