Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, Two-Spirit, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) individuals encounter numerous obstacles to equity across health and healthcare, education, housing, employment, and other domains. Such barriers are even greater for LGBTQ+ individuals who are also Black, Indigenous, and People of Color…

Educators continue to struggle with how masculinities are performed and regulated in spaces of learning. In a time of rapid social change, there is a renewed impetus for gender justice reform in schooling, though these approaches themselves remain a shifting picture. Adding a new layer of complexity, we are now witness to educational policy…

Period poverty is a global phenomenon that affects billions of people, particularly menstruators from developing countries, low- income families, and marginalised communities who lack access to sanitary products, education on healthy period management practices, and basic water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities to manage their periods with…

The present study explores the use of Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) within higher education institutions. In particular, bias associated with student ratings was explored in several ways. An experimental study design, using an advanced measurement framework was employed. Eight faculty participants from four ethnic-identity groups, and two…

We have developed and implemented a change to our General Chemistry curriculum that makes the point that "not all chemists are white men." This builds on recent textbook analyses, which showed that General Chemistry textbooks overwhelmingly and unnecessarily focus on the biographies of scientists that are white men. We demonstrate a way…

Being the valedictorian is the highest honor bestowed upon a senior. Unfortunately, that was not the case for Jeffrey and Autry, the two high-achieving African American male participants in this critical race qualitative study, who were short-changed of their valedictorian status. Their cases reveal three themes: (1) these Black male students were…

This article addresses how leadership scholarship perpetuates whiteness and the problems this causes for educators and students advancing social justice. The organizations that the authors oversee deliver place-based, community-driven programs serving youth and families from the lowest quartile of the socioeconomic ladder. Their constituents are…

Reflexivity is not a new concept; however, the researcher's reflexivity on caste and gender preconception in the South Asian context is an understudied area in qualitative studies. We know less about how a researcher's prejudice can unconsciously exclude Dalits and females from their research. In this critical autoethnographic study, I extend the…

Data from 57,027 6th-12th grade students were analyzed using three-level models. Students who perceived their school to have a…

In recent years, a distorted definition of antisemitism that conflates anti-Jewish prejudice with criticism of Israel has increasingly been adopted in U.S. state and federal legislation.

This article describes inclusive education based on gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) in elementary schools. The research was conducted because the school work plan for inclusive education has not yet included gender equality, disability and social inclusion in elementary schools in Central Java, Indonesia.

Scholars have identified a need for more learner-centred pedagogical practices as one way to facilitate more inclusive learning in physical education (PE). In this regard teacher education plays an important part through the preparation of future teachers. Yet, disrupting pre-service teachers' prior values or beliefs to transform PE, has proven…

United States policy aims to bolster a declining interest in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), professions. This disinterest is especially notable in women, Latinx, Black and Indigenous people who make up first-generation Americans attending college. Removing barriers for those under-represented in the STEM professions…

This study examined and quantified how race has been discussed in GBV-related research published in top-tier higher education (HE) journals. Intersectionality asserts social identities (e.g., ability, class, race) are "interconnected and operate simultaneously to produce experiences of both privilege and marginalization" (Smooth, 2013,…
