Alfredo J. Artiles is Professor of Special Education in the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education at Arizona State University. Dr. Artiles' scholarship examines the implications of the role of culture in learning for the construction of competence in two contexts: special education placement practices and teacher learning in urban schools. His recent work has focused on the disproportionate placement of English Language Learners and ethnic minority students in special education. Research projects also address how teachers become social justice educators in urban schools and the design of learning contexts for practitioners committed to social justice education. Dr Artiles has published extensively for research, policy, and practice audiences in the general, special, and bilingual education fields. Dr. Artiles received the 2001 Early Career Award from AERA's Committee on Scholars of Color in Education. He is a principal investigator for the National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems (NCCRESt) www.nccrest.org (with E. Kozleski, B. Harry, J. Klingner, and W. Tate).
