In order for decolonization to avoid becoming yet another orthodoxy, this book argues that it is necessary to recognize the neoliberal ideologies and imperatives that drive so much work in universities in both the Global Norths and Global Souths, and to understand the enmeshment (both historical and ongoing) of universities in colonial practices.…

This study examines the impact of interaction-oriented instructional practices on student performance and racial achievement gaps in college online courses. By linking survey data from almost 400 online instructors with student-level transcript records at a state community college system, we examine the relationship between six domains of…

The increasing demand for computer science (CS) skills underscores the importance of integrating CS education into K-12 curricula to best prepare students for a digitally-driven society. Despite significant progress in expanding access to CS courses, disparities in participation persist, especially among historically underrepresented groups. This…

This essay provides a two-pronged critical assessment of a subset of the literature on racial disproportionality in special education: that which aims to estimate racial disparities among otherwise similar children. This body of research has shown that Black students are less likely than "comparable" White students to receive special…

Guided by racial capitalism, interest convergence, and positioning theory, we analyzed focus group data from 30 racially minoritized PhD candidates to understand how they experienced and responded to racial com-modification in the academic job market. Although our participants perceived their hireability might be contingent on their performance of…

We present the first mixed-method study to explore the experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students studying psychology in the UK. We co-created a survey with undergraduate student research assistants, which was completed by 195 students, of which 106 were from BAME backgrounds and 89 were from White backgrounds. All students…

Despite evidence that teachers' professional experiences are racialized, few studies have quantitatively examined possible racial disparities in teachers' job satisfaction. Using data from a nationally representative survey of teachers in the United States, we find that Black teachers report significantly lower job satisfaction than their White…

Mentoring can have an equalizing impact on educational outcomes by critically taking on the deeper issues around oppression and marginalization while bringing to light the cultural and institutional roots of intrapsychic (e.g. implicit bias) and interpersonal racism (e.g. microaggressions). Educators of teacher candidates have two openings for…

The purpose of this descriptive multiple case study was to examine the recruitment process of Black student-athletes in revenue generating sports who have chosen to compete for a White head coach and a predominately White institution. This study aimed to provide common themes among Black student-athletes in relation to who and what influenced…

"Antiracist pedagogy" is a major element of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ideology that has found a comfortable home in the American university. But antiracist pedagogy is much more than an abstract self-evident term designed to elicit unqualified support. It has a particular meaning, content, and method, and its details are…

We live in a society wherein anti-Black racism is pervasive. It infiltrates every aspect of life, including work life spaces. In spite of the recent call for higher education to become antiracist, a tall order for an institution literally and figuratively built on racist attitudes and behaviors, higher education continues to be a cesspool for…

Long regarded as the "great equalizer" across all social identity categories, including race/ethnicity, class, and gender, the education system plays a pronounced role in the curation and dissemination of knowledge on social stratification. In contemporary times, this role is perhaps no more evident than in academia's gatekeeping role in…

The growth of school choice options such as charter schools is often understood as a way to meet the needs of under-represented communities, but concerns have been raised as to the diversity of those promoting and leading such options, as well as for the voices of those whose schooling is being reformed. Garrett Wilson and Christopher Lubienski…

This article examines how "Educational Management, Administration and Leadership" has embodied the values, concepts and practice of the field of educational leadership over 50 years and so played a part in challenging or sustaining inequality in education. The article explores selected key concepts, equal opportunities, diversity, and…

Amid growing debates about globalization of higher education (HE) reproducing inequalities, an analysis of race as the organizing influence underlying this global phenomenon remains absent. This conceptual essay argues that our understanding of globalization of HE would benefit from an intersectional understanding of critical Whiteness studies and…
