Through the lens of curriculum studies, critical race theory, and whiteness studies, Osa examines the selection, implementation, and evaluation of official school knowledge. Her work aims to uncover and challenge the systemic structures that perpetuate racial inequalities in educational settings, contributing to a more equitable and inclusive educational landscape.
