Collaborative writing is well established in the humanities, but with little focus on how the writing relationship comes into being, including the power and relational dynamics at play. This is especially pertinent both when Black and "white" (sic) authors collaborate in writing about race, and in the process of writing collaborative…

In this article, the author shares research into five images by artists whose work responded to and helped shape the Black Power movement: Emory Douglas's "Don't Support the Greedy," Betye Saar's "The Liberation of Aunt Jemima," Barbara Jones-Hogu's "Relate to Your Heritage," Elizabeth Catlett's "Malcolm X Speaks…

Letters enable writers to convey potentially difficult information in creative ways that are different from academic writing conventions. The subject of this article is healing from racial battle fatigue--the psychological, physiological, and emotional stress responses to racism. We use letters addressed to Black educators to illustrate how we…

The racial awakening stemming from the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-Black police brutalities, and unaccounted hate crimes against Asian Americans has captivated the world's attention regarding the insidious realities of white supremacy. Yet many educators' efforts to purposefully and pedagogically work toward building…

By utilizing autoethnography as a research method of a reflective self-examination set within the author's cultural context and experiential world, this essay elucidates the nuanced positionality of Asians/Asian Americans at the intersection of the model minority myth discourse, colonial narratives, and the black-white binary paradigm of race…

This body of work has drawn on critical race theory, intersectionality, and queer theory, among others, to advance more power-conscious approaches to student development. Critical…

Community engagement professionals (CEPs) often must develop and maintain equitable, high-quality relationships with community partners while supporting student learning and civic development through cocurricular community engagement or for-credit community-based learning programs.

This manuscript provides a nuanced understanding of the heterogeneity of faculty and staff of color activism in the context of a racialized and racist university structure. Through the deployment of Critical Race Theory, and the couching of activism within a foundational white supremacist history of higher education, the authors are then able to…

The dynamics of instructor embodiments and their relation to notions of power are explored in this paper. Informed by feminist poststructural theory, the author argues that, in classrooms where the focus of study is on conceptions of identity such as gender and race, the body of the instructor becomes an explicit pedagogical example. Through…

This article calls for an examination of identity and difference from a sociocultural perspective in art therapy theory and practice. Identity markers such as race, class, gender, and sexuality have tended to be seen in isolation and in ways that hamper the ability to understand and theorize difference. In constructing knowledge and in advancing…
