Ellison, Erin Rose; Langhout, Regina Day – Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2016
We outline structures of whiteness and analyze how forms of dominance embedded and enacted in higher education structures have been made salient, through a self-reflexive account of the authors' anti-cuts organizing.

Brown, Amy – Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, 2013
The narrative of gendered White savior in urban classrooms is ubiquitous not only in film (Smith, 1995, LaGravenese, 2007), but also in popular and academic literature. White female teachers are at the front of the majority of increasingly privatized U.S. classrooms (Pickower, 2009, Cochran-Smith, 2004). This article ethnographically critiques the…

Walshaw, Margaret – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2013
In an era when familiar categories of identity are breaking down, an argument is made for using post-structuralist vocabulary to talk about ethical practical action in mathematics education. Using aspects of Foucault's post-structuralism, an explanation is offered of how mathematical identifications are tied to the social organization of power. An…

Elder statesman Lee Kuan Yew maintains that a society ruled by elites is necessary to provide for high growth and social progress. Elitism conjures a class divide; an ongoing concern is a disconnection between elite and the citizens it has to represent. In the tradition of political socialization, and using the case study approach, this article…

Keaton, Trica – Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 2005

Now French-born or -raised youth, stigmatized by those origins, self-identify as French, although they are not so perceived in French society.…
