This study examines the representations of Asian American children and their families in children's literature, utilizing Asian Critical Race Theory (AsianCrit) to analyze stereotypical portrayals and emphasize counter-narratives. In this study, we conducted a critical content analysis to identify themes in the underlying messages in the…

Generations of researchers have studied the extent to which the content and consistency of stereotypes about Black people have changed over time. At best, the evidence is mixed with some findings suggesting changes in stereotypes and other evidence suggesting that, though belief in stereotypes changed for some people, stereotypes remain negative.…

This article clarifies historical and sociocultural factors that impact the role of STEM in the racialization of Asian Americans. Drawing on critical race and other theories of Asian American racialization, and a review of empirical research on the experiences of Asian American college students in STEM, we develop a conceptual framework called…

The current study examined ethnic representation and stereotypes in textbooks from two core secondary school subjects: maths and Dutch. We examined all 25 hard-copy textbooks used in first-year secondary schools in the Netherlands in 2019, and coded characters' ethnic background, competence-related activities, and occupational status. Ethnicity…

This qualitative case study examines a unique sample of 13 Asian American adult and youth activists and community leaders in New York City who support school integration efforts to increase enrollment of Black and Latinx students at selective schools. In contrast to Asian Americans who support a model minority narrative--one dimension of Asian…

Increasingly, immigration policies are understood as structural determinants, rooted in racism, nativism, and ethnocentrism, which raise serious public health concerns for Latinx adolescents' mental health. Our objective was to examine how immigration policy enforcement affects mental health of Latinx youth raised in a county with an aggressive…

A growing body of research has demonstrated that teachers' judgements may be biased by the demographics and characteristics of the students they teach.

This study addressed the need to understand the negative experiences of student affairs practitioners of color (SAPOCs) related to racial battle fatigue (RBF) and the accompanying need to explore how SAPOCs working at predominately white institutions (PWIs) experience RBF. The author conducted a multiple-case study with 10 SAPOCs, who served as…

The present study examined the effects on the role of color-blind racial attitudes on the link between internalization of the model minority myth and race-related stress.

A plethora of research identifies that the English educational experiences of some Black and Global Majority (BAGM) children are negative, which adversely impacts their academic and, in some cases, personal outcomes. Existing research identifies the contributing factors towards the negative educational experiences for some BAGM children, but less…

Lack of access to STEMM mentors has been identified as a critical barrier to biomedical research careers, leading to a lack of diversity in this field. To address such a barrier, the National Institutes of Health invested funds to support institutions in developing research immersion programs to provide "underrepresented" students with…

Asian Americans (AA) are one of the most rapidly growing populations in higher education, increasing by 36% since 2010. AA students are considered the model minority group who are generally academically successful. However, recent studies by Vang (2016) and Nguyen (2018) have disaggregated data and found while many Asian immigrants came to the…
