Given the increased diversity of the population in the United States and the importance of early science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning, it is crucial to identify ways to reduce racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in STEM education. This is particularly important for children with disabilities with intersecting…

Extant research has focused on the barriers faced by minority faculty in academia. Despite outward notions of commitment to diversity, higher education institutions remain largely exclusive to anyone who does not prescribe to the 'ideal' faculty. Recently, more attention has been given to minority faculty who possess intersectional identities,…

Health professional learners are increasingly called to learn about health inequity to reduce inequities and improve patient care and health outcomes.

This paper illustrates how particular approaches to citizenship education can be catalysts or deterrents in the promotion of gender equality and social inclusion. The review suggests that new, emerging (i.e. decolonising, feminist, intersectional/situational) approaches to citizenship education and learning are more likely to address the multiple…
