Alfredo J. Artiles is the Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education at Stanford University's Graduate School of Education. His scholarship examines the dual nature of disability, focusing on how protections afforded by disability status can unwittingly stratify educational opportunities for minoritized groups. He studies the cultural and historical contexts of racial and linguistic disparities in special education, including the consequences of disability diagnosis on marginalized groups such as segregation and the quality of services provided. Artiles has led national initiatives addressing equity within educational disparities and explores various themes such as the influence of socio-cultural factors on educators’ interpretations of disciplinary practices in special education contexts and the institutional practices that affect disability and racial intersections in education.
