Kathleen King Thorius studies special education with a focus on equity, examining how race and disability intersect to shape students' experiences in schools. Her work applies critical theories (including critical race theory and disability studies) to questions of exclusion, assessment practices, and inclusive teaching, and she has served in an editorial leadership role for a major special education journal. Much of her recent writing addresses how to make special education more just for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
