A systematic assessment of academic public health norms is needed to clarify how graduate education structures the profession of public health to address racial health inequities.

Using an autoethnographic approach, this article draws on my personal experience as an Asian Pacific American (APA) political theorist who has navigated between different institutional spaces to reflect on a phenomenon that I call "elastic racialization" of APAs in higher education and its implications on our pedagogic agenda and…

Expressions of multicultural information from dances of non-Eurocentric or partial Eurocentric lineage are routinely absent from private sector curricula, though Eurocentric dances and non-Eurocentric or partial Eurocentric lineage dances exist simultaneously within the private sector.

Threaded with racialized and gendered pathologies, Black folx wrestle with a normative gaze that understands them as irrational, unintelligent, and deserving of constant surveillance. In this way, Black folx are expected to model postures of whiteness that agree with the wardrobe of anti-Blackness. In this manuscript, we take up the pedagogical…

Today's hyper-partisan world makes civil discourse across differences seem almost impossible for many adults, let alone young people. U.S. public schools are tasked with educating our young people with the goal that they each can be productive members of society.
