The concept of collective identity emphasizes the importance of solidarity, collective strength, and coalition building among social groups in order to establish empowering educational systems, while still critically acknowledging the role that intersectionality, privilege, and power play in society and in students' lives. This brief summarizes…

The inclusion of students with disabilities with special education services into general education classes has been an integral part of education for over 3 decades.

Marked by the tireless labour and contributions of Black women, the Black feminist tradition has significantly influenced the field and practice of education, broadly conceived, in which pedagogy plays a vital part. Little scholarship, however, has explored the relationship between Black feminist thought's knowledge validation process and Black…

How science is traditionally taught and presented in westernized classrooms, Western Modern Science often does not offer creative and culturally sustaining pathways for students with diverse multicultural backgrounds to view science as a beneficial resource for their worldview, values, and funds of knowledge.

College students play a pivotal role in governance efforts in higher education. From student government and student associations to student regents and trustees, it is common for institutions--and systems--to engage students in the governance process (Lozano, 2020; Lozano & Hughes, 2017; May, 2010). This article highlights the noteworthy…

As two Chicana scholar-activists, we recognize the common approach to oral history research is often technical and pragmatic and that published teaching materials rooted in radical feminist of color and Indigenous intellectual traditions are limited. In this article, we trace an intellectual and scholarly genealogy that demonstrates there is no…

While COVID-19 has underlined many global interdependencies, it has also made clear the ways in which these globalised connections are structured by profound inequalities. Teaching in this context has been deeply challenging for many educators around the world. For related reasons, though, the pandemic has also created new provocations for global…

In this case narrative, we introduce readers to Carmén, a newly appointed Queer Latina principal. Faced with bureaucratic responses to proposed anti-critical race theory (CRT) and LGBTQ+ legislation, Carmén is forced to contend with teacher and district responses and concerns. The case narrative is divided into three events, each requiring readers…

In this paper we make practical and theoretical contributions to feminist adult education. Practically, we provide an overview of a three-hour arts- and play-based research workshop with research activities/tools that readers can further research to adapt to their own contexts. Theoretically, we explore how these creative practices can contribute…
