Abstract
This systematic review analyzes 50 peer-reviewed education research articles that employed the AsianCrit framework published between 2014 and 2023. It examines how scholars have utilized AsianCrit to challenge the persistent marginalization of Asian (American) voices in education research. Collectively, this body of research exposes the severe anti-Asian racism across K–12 and higher education contexts; challenges the exclusion and distortion of Asian (American) experiences in curriculum and instructional materials; examines the complex Asian (American) identities, beliefs, and practices; and highlights the efforts of Asian (American) students, parents, and educators in resisting oppressive educational systems. The review identifies tensions and limitations concerning the inconsistent use of the AsianCrit framework and its tenets in the literature. It concludes with recommendations for future research to advance AsianCrit scholarship and implications for educational practitioners, policymakers, and community advocates seeking to utilize AsianCrit in their work.
