To date, multiple U.S. states have passed legislation banning the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) and limiting teaching related to race, gender, CRT, and privilege under the umbrella term "divisive concepts." Against this backdrop, I argue that while CRT is not taught in schools, as a theory, it provides a crucial analytical and…

White evangelical churches and organizations play a significant role in mobilizing congregants as participants in the white Christian nationalist movement.

Young Children of Color in the United States experience the effects of racism on a daily basis. There have been calls for anti-bias and anti-racist education across the field of education, yet most recommendations are based on older students or studies in laboratory settings. Additionally, state and local governments have enacted legislation…

Social ontology examines the nature and mechanisms in human society of concepts that pertain to various kinds of social collectivities.

While there is increased attention to power, privilege, and access in mathematics education, conversations around race and disability are often left out of the conversation.
