In "The Consciously Unbiased Educator," cultural proficiency expert and former teacher Huda Essa helps educators uncover and surmount the limitations of unconscious biases--stereotypes that form below the surface of our awareness, making them harder to detect. Although these biases are not formed with the intent to do harm, if they are…

The purpose of this paper is to highlight how racial stereotypes, such as the model minority stereotype, are contributing to the continued exclusion of Asian Americans in conversations concerning public health issues like alcohol use. The paper elaborates on potential reasons for the continued overlook of this subpopulation in the United States,…

This study investigates the impact of gender bias on female superintendents' careers on Long Island. Despite comprising the majority of teachers, women hold a significantly lower proportion of leadership positions. The research employed a mixed-method approach with quantitative and qualitative phases to explore this disparity. The findings reveal…

Using data on ninth graders, math teachers, and schools from the nationally representative High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, we investigate the following questions: (1) How do ninth graders' perceptions of their math teachers as equitable relate to their math identity at the intersection of adolescents' race and gender? and (2) Do…

This qualitative phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of African American women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) technology and how they persist in the field. The study uses semi-structured interview questions to understand if the Strong Black Woman concept is a factor in the persistence of six…

Stigma devalues, discriminates, and magnifies social inequalities. For children in care, who have far worse educational outcomes than children who are not in care, stigma negatively effects the others' perceptions, as well as the children's perceptions of themselves. This paper is drawn from a larger research project which considered the ways in…

Many Filipina care workers are subrogated to the position of mothers in the more affluent states of Asia. As a consequence, they oftentimes play as the unofficial teachers of the children. In this article, I analyse the process of global subrogation, which often end in what I call an inverted odyssey of the Filipina domestic helper. Using the…

Student evaluations of teaching (SET) are typically highly biased. In this paper, three experiments are reported, examining gender bias in SET by manipulating lecturer gender and counterstereotypes. Each experiment involved a vignette about a lecture, with a different context: Study 1 - noisy students disrupting the lesson; Study 2 - students…

By utilising George Mosse's conceptualisation of stereotypes as positive constructs together with David Tjeder's countertypes, the study investigates how the emerging…

The use of predictive analytics powered by machine learning (ML) to model educational data has increasingly been identified to exhibit bias towards marginalized populations, prompting the need for more equitable applications of these techniques. To tackle bias that emerges in training data or models at different stages of the ML modelling…

Emotions work, such as relational pedagogical approaches to teaching, and more targeted interventions designed to enhance children's social and emotional skills, known as competence promotion approaches, are now a central aspect of primary schooling. Yet, although evidence is forthcoming in terms of the content, focus, and effectiveness of some…

When asked to draw a scientist, children typically draw a gender stereotypical male representation; however, research has not yet assessed these representations in terms of scientist stereotypical skin tone. The current study examined children's (N = 69, 66.7% female, M[subscript age] = 7.60, SD = 2.13) scientist perceptions by analyzing both the…

Since the public intellectuals of the 1960s, there has been a shift towards the celebrity academic, as subjects such as history and science have transferred into popular television entertainment, often with female academics as the presenters. Using a case study of the British media, a post-feminist lens has been applied to examine how 17 celebrity…
