Positive outcomes from undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have resulted in calls to broaden and diversify participation in research. However, we have little understanding of what demographics are reported and considered in the analyses of student outcomes from UREs. Without this information, it is impossible to assess whether participation…

Despite much effort by engineering education scholarships to make engineering more inclusive, women are still underrepresented in engineering. Women earn less than 30% of the bachelor's degrees in engineering. However, when we examine the intersectionality between gender and race/ethnicity, the lack of representation in certain groups of women…

Anna McDougall; Douglas McKee; George Orlov – Journal of Economic Education, 2025
While the field of economics lacks diversity, there is little consensus on the underlying causes of or most effective solutions to this problem. The authors of this article combine data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) with data from their own survey of U.S. economics departments to identify institution and…

Dynarski, Susan; Nurshatayeva, Aizat; Page, Lindsay C.; Scott-Clayton, Judith – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2022
Non-financial barriers to college are an important possible explanation for socioeconomic, racial, gender, and other gaps in college access and success. A sizeable economic literature documents policy efforts to understand and address these barriers. We review this literature on non-financial interventions for improving college access and success…

Ruba Al-Serhan – ProQuest LLC, 2023
For decades, research has explored racial disparities in exclusionary school discipline, illuminating the stark disproportionality concerning Black students. Black boys are most susceptible to harsher discipline, increasing their risk for future involvement in the juvenile justice system, a bridge to the school-to-prison pipeline. Recent…

David DeMatthews; Alexandra Aylward; David Knight; Pedro Reyes – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2024
The superintendent is one of the most important positions within public school districts because they have the capacity to influence policies, practices, and perceptions among school staff while simultaneously holding sway over the public. Yet, few Latinx administrators are hired into the superintendency -- even fewer are Latinas. Consequently,…

Byun, Sunghwan; Shah, Niral; Reinholz, Daniel – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2023
We introduce a teacher learning practice called "EQUIP-ing," which aims to foster sociopolitical noticing by leveraging EQUIP, an equity-oriented classroom observation tool. We detail our iterations of EQUIP-ing to a field-based Number Talk experience in a secondary mathematics methods course with 25 White prospective teachers (PTs). We…

Oh-Young, Conrad; Buchter, Jennifer; Morgan, Chelsea W.; Clark, Christine – Journal of Special Education, 2023
The field of special education has made great strides in identifying interventions that work. These practices have been described as evidence-based because they were effective across numerous studies. However, scholars in the field are also acutely aware that not all evidence-based practices will be equally effective for all children. Because of…
