Project title : Deconstructing School Pushout (DSP) (Principal Investigator : Sireen Irsheid, PhD, LCSW, MSW)

Project Overview :

DSP project aims to address knowledge gaps in the understanding of the nonlinear pathways and factors that act as facilitators to the school pushout phenomenon (e.g., suspensions / expulsions and engagement with the legal system). This study is built on a growing body of social justice-oriented research concerned with the systemic influences that shape the experiences for young people. Specifically, this study aims to qualitatively examine how young people who have been suspended, expelled, or interacted with the legal system understand, make meaning, and navigate the structural factors related to neighborhood and school disinvestment and access to resources and supports, and their risk for school pushout. Furthermore, schools as political, cultural, and ideologically reproductive spaces often serve as sites of resistance and can support Black and Brown students who are impacted by educational inequity. This study also aims to explore the perceptions of school staff which will aid in the understanding of organizational practices and the day-to-day interactions between school staff and students designated as “high risk” for school pushout.
