This qualitative research study used an interpretivist approach to examine the following research questions: (a) Do Black students experience intersectionality between their racial and academic identities in Catholic institutions of higher education? (b) Do student academic pathways promote their racial identity? (c) For Black students, do racial…

Limited literature has examined parents' unsolicited trait, mental state, and coping talk about media characters by race as they co-view with their children. We observed 195 US parents describing an illustrated depiction of racialized social exclusion for their child (53% male; M[subscript age] = 5.46 years; 60% White) in their home setting.…

In this article, I use narrative portraiture as a methodology to inquire into the ways that two Asian American (AsAm) girls used their time in an after-school writing collaborative for girls of Color to explore and express their identities and political commitments through multiple literacies. Building on theoretical foundations of AsianCrit,…

From early in development, race biases how children think about gender--often in a manner that treats Black women as less typical and representative of "women in general" than White or Asian women. The present study (N = 89, ages 7-11; predominately Hispanic, White, and multi-racial children) examined the generalizability of this…

Many White educators are not aware of their White privilege, and therefore they need support in developing their White racial identity and racial awareness so that they can identify problems associated with racism and participate in conversations about race and racism with an eye towards dismantling systemic racism. Data was collected from…

In most stratification research, race is treated as a static and one-dimensional individual characteristic, though a growing literature indicates dynamic and multidimensional measures better represent experiences of racial categorization and inequality. The authors leverage such measures to explore the relationship between material hardship and…

"Hidden in Blackness" analyzes the experiences, perspectives, and development of Black immigrant students, while also complicating how race, ethnicity, nativity, and nationality are understood across the P-20 education landscape. The authors unpack how Blackness and anti-Black racism in the United States can foster Black immigrants…

The following qualitative study analyzed pre-service teachers' reflective essays during an introductory place-based educational experience class. The analysis examined how racial identity is an integral component of preservice teachers' professional identity development. Using Helm (2007) and Howard's (2016) racial identity developmental model,…

Increasing the proportion of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) health practitioners is identified as one strategy to address healthcare disparities that individuals from minority or under-represented backgrounds experience. However, professional and institutional cultures and structures are known to contribute to the challenges for CALD…

In this article, I theorize a Black sense of place, from the interior--as geoaesthetic praxis and as a break from being a colonial subject. Composed within the traditions of Black studies and prior scholarship on geospatial praxis, the work draws on the aesthetic, spatial, and pedagogical orientations that emerge from understanding Black…

Children are highly attuned to race early in life, yet parents often underestimate their capacity to process race-related information, delaying discussions about race. Research suggests that parents' perceptions of their children's readiness to learn about race influence the timing of these conversations; however, few studies have explored how…

The art component in the chaotic intersections of 2020 cannot be ignored. The expressive outputs of thoughts and feelings that are relevant first-person accounts in the struggle against oppression are also valuable markers that illuminate historical timelines. How reflective are these situations, and what can be derived from these moments? What do…

This study analyzed how disabilities were portrayed in picturebooks with the Américas Book Award to address the intersectionality of LatinX racial identity and disabilities. The pool of 41 picturebooks recognized by the Américas Book from 1993 to 2020 was used as the data for our systematic content analysis. Then 22 picturebooks developmentally…

Historically, Black educators have played a critical role in Black youth's well-being. Consequently, they are often assumed to "naturally" engage culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP), obscuring the diverse ways Black individuals identify, think, and behave regarding race and culture. This psychological survey study examines in-service…

This phenomenological study examined the racial identity development of Black and White men--aspiring school leaders--who had recently completed a principal preparation program as members of a racially diverse cohort of students. The principal preparation program was designed with an unapologetic emphasis on race and addressing issues of racism.…
