This study reports on the development of an analytical tool to assess the impact of individual and collective HIP participation on…

Students in the United States missed more than 11 million school days in the academic year 2017-2018 due to out-of-school suspensions. Research has shown that suspension has adverse short- and long-term consequences, such as lower academic achievement and lower graduation rates. With school suspension affecting approximately one-third of students…

We share examples of democratic commitments and shifts in our own understandings of the role of the teacher and professor. We…

Despite the rhetoric of inclusion and equal participation, educational practices end up producing social exclusion.
