Research suggests that the cultural homogeneity of Christian college campuses presents challenges for people of color to navigate. White cultural norms influence attitudes about race. The way people at an institution talk about race reflects the institution's campus racial climate. The purpose of this study was to explore how members of a…

The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a mandatory survey of all public schools and school districts in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Since the 2009-10 CRDC, schools and school districts have reported the number of students who were referred to law enforcement and arrested at the nation's public schools.…

The opportunity gap, or conditions and barriers that impede the academic performance and school experience of minoritized students, may be exacerbated by educators' implicit biases. The aim of this qualitative study was to understand preservice educators' awareness of individual, structural, and systemic racism with regard to implicit bias. Our…

For several decades, the Gramscian notion of the intellectual has been a popular framework to view the potentiality of educators as counter-hegemonic cultural workers. While this was an invaluable contribution to the field of critical education, notions of the intellectual have largely focused on class conflict. For a deeper theorization of the…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational-predictive study was to study if and to what extent emotional intelligence and race, individually and/or combined, predict self-efficacy among teachers teaching online at US-based colleges and universities. The theoretical foundation for this study was based on Salovey and Mayer's 1990 Theory of…

In a book published in 2000, entitled "An Elusive Science: The Troubling History of Education Research," Ellen C. Lagemann traced educational research (ER) in the U.S. from its pre-history--the training of common school teachers in summer schools, high schools, normal schools, female institutes, and later colleges and universities.…

School-aged Black boys are mathematically gifted; however, they are often underserved vis-à-vis their mathematics education. In this article, we provide guidance for multiple stakeholders to support and elevate high-quality mathematics learning opportunities for Black male youth. In doing so, we begin by engaging W. E. B. Du Bois' storytelling. We…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of community service participation on undergraduates' social capital development, including whether any potential effects are conditional on students' race/ethnicity, parents' or guardians' education, and social class. I used a propensity score analysis on a multi-institutional sample of…

This dissertation seeks to answer the following research question: what are the qualitatively different ways that students conceive of an antiracist professional identity for themselves after taking an undergraduate honors course with racism and antiracism as its central themes? To answer this research question, I employ critical race…

World language (WL) education has the potential to shift perspectives toward equity. To accomplish this, the field must consider how it is situated within societal systems that perpetuate racial inequity. This systematic historical analysis of literature examined how the term race and related terms appeared historically in a set of primary…

Do white teachers learn racial competency from their Black peers? We answer this question using a mixed-methods approach. Longitudinal administrative data from North Carolina show that having a Black same-grade peer significantly improves the achievement and reduces the suspension rates of white teachers' Black students. Open-ended interviews of…

This paper contributes to scholarship exploring the affective politics of environmental education. Building on Nixon's (2011) conception of slow violence, I argue that the slow violence of ecological destruction presents not only a representational challenge but also a pedagogical one: how to confront violent systems that degrade and harm…

This paper utilizes poststructural theory to analyze student artifacts that were collected from a history of mathematics course. The course was designed to counter three types of mathematical narratives, relating to: 1) race, 2) intelligence, and 3) innateness. To address these narratives, the course highlighted the contributions of communities of…

This essay applies Critical Race Theory and Critical Whiteness Studies towards affirming the collective existence, experience, and humanity of educational leaders of Color, who tend to experience systemic dismissing and invisibilizing within educational institutions. Like racial commentators such as James Baldwin and Ta-Nehisi Coates, this essay…

In this article, we offer the perspective of a feminist of Color analysis on how teaching has been constructed into a race, gender, and class mold that purposely includes certain bodies--namely white middle-class women--while excluding anyone who does not fit the mold. More specifically, we use intersectionality to analyze the interplay between…
