Marcus Croom studies the relationship between race and literacy, examining how reading, writing, and teaching are shaped by racial dynamics in education. His work develops ideas such as 'racial literacies' and a 'post-white orientation' that draw on critical race theory to rethink literacy research and teacher preparation. Much of his scholarship connects literacy instruction with questions of social justice, equity, and anti-racism.
