Yadav, Aman; Heath, Marie K. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
The unexamined power and prejudice embedded within technologies and societies has led to direct harm to individuals of color, minoritized groups, and the US ideal of a multi-racial democracy. Rather than an accident of AI or a "glitch" of the system, these inequities highlight the invisible and oppressive architecture -- a "New Jim…

Sally K. Carter – Schools: Studies in Education, 2024
The current education system is failing our children. Yet the system shifts the blame as well as the search for possible solutions to teachers and learners, avoiding responsibility for its role in the existing oppressive structures.

Leah M. Bueso; Erica R. Hodgin; Joseph Kahne; Abby Kiesa – Democracy & Education, 2024
Voting instruction typically provided to students is focused on educating for informed voting, but we believe it is essential that schools educate for informed and equitable voting.
