This article provides a systematic decomposition of disparities in school funding by race and ethnicity using two new data resources. First, we use a national district level panel of data from the School Finance Indicators Database to evaluate recent (2012-2017) disparities in school revenue and spending by race in addition to poverty, across and…

We longitudinally examined the trajectories of Latine mothers' (N = 116) language input to their children during book-sharing interactions at four points in development, when children were between ages 2 and 5 years. Mother-child dyads were video-recorded sharing a wordless picture book, and transcriptions of mothers' and children's language…

Through in-home ethnographic observations of three multilingual immigrant families' shared book reading, we identified recurring literacy practices in the home in which mothers, older siblings, and younger children participated during the reading. We found that families engaged in context-sensitive and cooperative shared reading practices, wherein…

In the spring of 2018 the Northern California/Nevada Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers was alerted to a local high school's plans to eliminate physics for the following school year. As part of the campaign to support the school's efforts to sustain physics in the following year, the physics offerings from the surrounding…

To understand the presence and positioning of Latina faculty in humanities and social science scholarship, the authors analyzed articles published between 2000 and 2016 and developed three findings. First, few papers centered Latina professors. Second, when Latina faculty were featured in scholarship, it was often in the context of research…

In this article, I argue that academic language is a raciolinguistic ideology that frames racialized students as linguistically deficient and in need of remediation. I propose language architecture as an alternative framing of language that can serve as a point of entry for resisting these raciolinguistic ideologies in both research and practice.…

We examined the relationship between family resilience and parenting stress among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder, with a specific focus on race/ethnicity as a moderator. Multivariate models indicated that family resilience was associated with parenting stress. Race/ethnicity significantly moderated the relationship between…

Psychometric properties of measures of hope and meaning in life in Spanish among Latina/o college students were investigated. A confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate structural validity of instruments. Findings provided support for the reliability and validity of scores on the Disposition Hope Scale and Meaning in Life Questionnaire…

For over a decade, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has formed partnerships allowing local police to enforce immigration law by identifying and arresting undocumented residents. Prior studies, using survey data with self-reported immigrant and citizenship status, provide mixed evidence on their demographic impact. This study presents new…

Youth participatory action research is a pedagogy in which students work together to explore an issue that affects them. The school counselor measured the impact on Latina students who participated in the project based on participants' self-efficacy in attending college and being successful in math and science. Results indicated that students were…

Many Latinx students whose families have resided in the rural areas of the United States for generations face racist, nativist behavior particular to rural spaces that is pervasive and all encompassing. Living and learning under small town oppression affects Latinx students' educational aspirations, trajectory and achievement of higher education…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to uncover what the at-home educational environments of low-income Latine adolescents looked like during the COVID-19 pandemic and how these environments influenced students' participation in their online classes. Additionally, the findings highlight students' perspectives on their varied engagement in virtual…

"Servingness" is a multidimensional framework detailing how Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) -- which enroll at least 25% Latinx students -- can shift from merely "enrolling" to meaningfully "serving" students holistically. Critically examining how institutional structures facilitate or inhibit servingness is…

Within the current U.S. climate of post-truth politics, systemic barriers threaten to reify racial and linguistic hierarchies. Students and communities are stuck at the intersection of macro language education policies and micro enactments of said policies. Latinx communities notably are experiencing intensified segregation, even in bilingual…

Teacher preparation for problem-solving instruction is essential to meeting the math needs of English learners (ELs) with math learning disabilities (MLD) in U.S. public schools. In investigating this instruction with Hispanic ELs with MLD, this study focused on how professional development supported one special educator's implementation of…
