Over the past decade, increasingly more colleges and universities have had to address student-initiated demands following racist incidents that occur both locally and nationally. However, the demands to address unfair conditions on campus do not necessarily result in meaningful change. To better understand how student activism facilitates…

Although education researchers have increased attention to the study of antib?lackness, particularly within schools and national boundaries, how antiblackness impacts transnational phenomena within the higher education (HE) field remains undertheorized. As such, this conceptual article introduces the "antiblackness as global aspiration"…

To teach about race is to recognize how there are communities whose worlds are shaped by violence, death, and resurrection, such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Emmett Till, George Floyd, and the many unnamed. Resurrection invokes the zombie figure. Zombies are iconic, and as implemented in an interdisciplinary course, a means to foster…

A deeper understanding of how slavery and colonialism fundamentally shaped the system of higher education in the United States has led colleges and universities to reexamine their histories and acknowledge harms committed and the need for repair. Campuses are experimenting with how to address racial justice and healing for faculty, staff, and…

This study utilises a critical race discourse analysis to understand how cross-racial intergroup dialogue (IGD) participants perceive racial voyeurism, a form of racism within their dialogue course. IGD is a face-to-face, co-facilitated interaction between two or more groups within a social identity-based conflict where participants form…

Peer socialization agents (PSAs) play an important role in transmitting messages about the culture of higher education institutions (i.e. norms, values, practices, and assumptions) to new students, including messages concerning diversity and inclusion. The transmission of diversity messages depends on how student leaders make meaning of these…

This article examines monoracism in master's level student affairs graduate programs and offers implications for resolving tension Multiracial students may feel based on the narratives of two Black-White Multiracial graduate students.

This study investigates how higher education institutions attract and retain faculty of color. There is a deficit of minority representation in professorship. Specifically, over 80% of all full professors employed at four-year institutions are White (Espinosa et al., 2019). Gasman's (2022) and Bell's (1992) literature has impacted this study…

Drawing on theories of antiracist pedagogy, pandemic pedagogy, and racial identity development, this article demonstrates the benefits of campus-wide virtual conversations, arguing that they provide students in particular with salient opportunities to synthesize antiracist theory and praxis while further developing their racial identities. Using…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine Chinese international students' narrative stories, experiences and racial dynamics while studying in the United States to argue that Chinese international students navigate multi-dimensional transitions and experiences in different stages. This study uses an AsianCrit lens to address the gap in…

Many students arrive on college campuses from racially homogeneous environments and are ill-prepared to engage in cross-racial discussions (Patton, 2016), therefore, making it more difficult to develop the skills needed to create authentic relationships across racial lines (Park & Chang, 2015). Because these cross-racial relationships are…

This critical collaborative autoethnography critically examines how three women (Black, Asian American, and white) teacher educators negotiated their roles as diversity, equity, and inclusion facilitators for a national alternative educator preparation program. A major category that emerged from the research was how our racialized experiences…

Working conditions have been shown to have a significant influence on teachers' retention decisions. Despite disparities between rates of retention for Teachers of Color (TOC) and their White peers, extant research related to links between working conditions and retention tends to treat teachers as a monolithic group. The goal of this study was to…

This article analyses the activities and early outcomes of an ongoing co-designed and co-delivered research impact project entitled "Decolonising the English Literature A-Level". It draws on examples from three case studies, classroom experiences, and student and teacher feedback to show how efforts to support the decolonisation of…

Prior scholarship has documented the experiences of white students engaging in racial dialogues in curricular and co-curricular contexts, however less research considers their conversations about race within their white peer and family networks, specifically within the context of anti-racist practice. This constructivist grounded theory study…
