Abstract: Abstract Grounded in Quantitative Critical Race Theory (QuantCrit), this study utilizes Critical Content Analysis to examine how educational sessions at the Association for Institutional Research’s annual conference, AIR Forum, have engaged issues of race and racism. On average, race was mentioned in just 6.2% of AIR Forum sessions annually, and only three sessions used the terms “racism” or “antiracism” between 2002 and 2023. Findings suggest there is a dearth of learning opportunities at AIR Forum explicitly aimed at countering racism in Institutional Research (IR). Implications for research and practice are shared to bolster the development of antiracist intelligence among IR professionals.
