The Data Quality Movement for the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community: An Unresolved Civil Rights Issue (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the critical importance of the data disaggregation movement within the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community as a civil rights issue. It focuses on CARE's iCount initiative in Washington state, which aims to improve data collection to reflect the heterogeneity within the AAPI population. The authors argue that disaggregated data is essential for understanding and addressing the unique experiences of marginalized AAPI subgroups, which are often overlooked in educational research due to stereotypes such as the model minority myth.
