In this paper, we pull in concepts about place and race from Black Geography to posit earnest questions about the antiblackness of schooling and educational theories that widely accept rural as racialized white. We contextualize this work within the American Southern Black Belt (see Dantes, 2021; Rankin, 1992). We introduce tools from Black…

Virtual reality promotes prosocial behavior on various issues, including homelessness, ageism, and the environment. Recently researchers have explored the potential for a virtual reality experience to promote an empathic perspective transformation with promising results. The purpose of my proposed research is to investigate and explain the…

Professors of adult education often encourage learners to engage in antiracist practice yet fail to make clear that this is easier said than done. "Teacher transparency" is one way to model adult educators' responsibility to be reflective, problematize practice, and deepen conversation and analysis during antiracist adult education…

Anti-Indigenous racism is the result of a lack of knowledge about Indigenous peoples according to Senator Murray Sinclair (Sinclair, 2019). Teacher education is one of the most powerful ways to combat racism towards Indigenous peoples as it impacts not only pre-service teachers but in-service teachers, their students, and their families. Alberta's…

Preparing teachers to teach mathematics is at the intersection of the three areas where cultural and racial knowledge intersects with content and pedagogical content knowledge. Consequently, preparing teachers to teach mathematics must consider all peoples' practices. This highlights two Black girls marginalized by their teacher, which provides…

The notion that educators are committed to effective facilitation of racial integration in secondary schools has become the keystone in developing a socially just schooling system in South Africa.

In this address I identify specific and unique roles anthropology can play in the necessary work of decolonizing education. These include: building anti-racist schools that honor all "ways of being human"; decolonizing school leadership and working towards culture creation for equity and anti-racism; decolonizing teaching and learning…

The Kappa Delta Pi 2020 Diversity Summit addressed current issues in the teaching profession. This article targets the constructs from the breakout sessions focusing on White privilege as it relates to teacher education and teachers of color.

This project aims to gain a new understanding of redlining and the nature of how human beings occupy their time. Redlining was/is government sanctioned discriminatory race-based exclusionary tactics in real estate. Occupational science and adult learning tenets support the idea that how we occupy our time matters; Black Americans could not buy…

This brief research report examines the discursive shifts of a secondary mathematics teacher participating in a collaborative learning community centered on culturally responsive mathematics teaching. We draw on two frameworks to analyze the teacher's discursive moves. The first framework comes from Lefstein et al. (2020) on generative discourse…

Our classrooms are increasingly populated by students from diverse linguistic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. These students bring rich experiences that could be utilized as resources for teaching and learning in culturally diverse classrooms. Unfortunately, they often encounter racism and inequality, as well as a discrepancy between their home…
