Rooted in the history of women of color feminisms along with the everyday pedagogical practices that occur in Chicanx/Latinx communities, CLF plática methodology stems from the recognition that Chicanx/Latinx communities are experts of their lives who engage in knowledge production and theory every day. In this conceptual essay, we explore how…

This qualitative study explores how Black and Global Majority faculty at an English university with an ethnically diverse student population perceive race and racism on campus. Informed by a theoretical framework drawing on Critical Race theory (CRT), CRT methodology and critical whiteness studies, we adopt counter-narrative story telling as a…

In this article, we offer the perspective of a feminist of Color analysis on how teaching has been constructed into a race, gender, and class mold that purposely includes certain bodies--namely white middle-class women--while excluding anyone who does not fit the mold. More specifically, we use intersectionality to analyze the interplay between…

This essay explores how good intentioned white academics can hijack the important essence of anti-racism work and allows whiteness to invade the site. During the process of participating in anti-racist meetings and events many white academics are more occupied with advancing their positive white identity than liberating people of color through…

This paper contributes to the discourse on the role of critical pedagogy in the U.S. education system. The paper is inspired by the story of a participant from a larger "ongoing" phenomenological study designed to explore the experience of immigrant teachers in the United States. The participant was selected because she gained prominence…

In seeking to address teacher shortages in the United States, teacher preparation programs, and state education department leaders in particular, have largely focused on the recruitment of new teachers. To some extent, recruitment efforts have also included attention to racially diversifying the teacher ranks. Using a Critical Race Theory…

We draw on our lived experiences as faculty of communication studies from Asia, living and working in the United States, to explore how U.S. higher education constituted our identity as linguistic minorities. We also draw on tenets of collaborative autoethnography, producing insight on three levels of linguistic discrimination against non-standard…

Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS) can be a significant tool to dismantle white supremacy in educational contexts. However, the authors argue that without attending to the forms of curriculum as they are entangled across systems of schooling, CWS can reinscribe the very forms of whiteness it seeks to disrupt. Identifying as a queer, Brown assistant…

Women of Color in higher education often experience cultural taxation alongside feelings of invisibility and hypervisibility. In this paper, two women faculty of color use duoethnography, a dialogic research method, to unpack a shared journal that documented their own experiences of navigating and negotiating predominantly White academic spaces.…

The following autoethnographic narrative uses the tenets of AsianCrit to examine and theorize the limitations of teaching from an empathy model particularly for women of color who contend with a model minority identity in a predominantly white institution. Although there is nothing unique or new about addressing white fragility in a teacher…

In this project, we share how we--two differently situated Women of Color, one Indigenous and one Chicana, with myriad other identities (e.g. mothers, partners, daughters, friends, co-conspirators, academics)--grew to be friends, and how we foster our friendship as a site of coalitional refusal for creating a more just academy. We offer our…

This article examines the purposeful use of counternarrative to develop an antiracist school identity. Based on a seven-year ethnographic project at an elementary school in the southeast U.S., it illustrates how counternarrative can be employed as strategy to embed Critical Race Theory (CRT) into school equity discourse and, in doing so, help…

The case study is based on my students' written…

This article also utilizes the epistemology and ontology of educational activists to determine the methods that activism develops, approaches and implements. The co-construction of pedagogy and spaces that are cultivated that explore the…
