Critical race scholarship established that quantitative data is never neutral—it carries the assumptions of the structures that produced it. But naming that problem is not a methodology. This session introduces LiberationQuant, an extension of the QuantCrit research paradigm built on three operational pillars—Triggers, Tracking, and Treatment—that move institutions from critique to accountability. Attendees will leave with a methodological framework for repositioning the institution, rather than the student, as the primary unit of quantitative equity inquiry.
