The greater the proliferation of AI in educational contexts, the more important it becomes to ensure that AI adheres to the equity and inclusion values of an educational system or institution. Given that modern AI is based on historic datasets, mitigating historic biases with respect to protected classes (ie, fairness) is an important component of…

Several studies have reported the positive benefits of informal Computer Science learning programs for Black girls, which include staff, mentors, and peers reflective of the girls in the program; however, we do not know enough about what motivates Black women to sign up to teach in such programs, or how representation in mentoring affects future…

The scholarship concerning undocumented immigrant students continues to overlook the lives of Black undocumented immigrant (undocuBlack) students. This interpretative phenomenological study aims to increase awareness of how undocuBlack students experience college. Our findings suggest that undocuBlack students experience double invisibility…

Efforts to include people with disabilities in design education are difficult to scale, and dynamics of participation need to be carefully planned to avoid putting unnecessary burdens on users. However, given the scale of emerging AI-enhanced technologies and their potential for creating new vulnerabilities for marginalized populations, new…

While European governance of individual policy sectors has received considerable academic scrutiny, less attention has been paid to the development of intersectoral coordination. This paper charts the emergence of a supranational boundary-spanning policy regime (BSPR) in education and employment in Europe. By looking at issues, ideas, interests…

As four queer counseling and counselor education scholars, we used critical collaborative autoethnography to examine socialization influences on our queer, gender, and religious identities. Analysis revealed four themes describing social-cultural socialization's influence on identity negotiation processes: social-cultural/environmental influences;…

Purpose: Sexual health is insufficiently addressed in health care and higher education, which can lead to lower quality of life and negative health outcomes. To improve the situation, it is necessary to address both the needs of patients and professionals and collaboratively engage in finding sustainable solutions. The purpose of this paper is to…

This duoethnographical study explores the experiences of the two authors, Joanna and Sarah, as international students in the United States that do not quite fully fit in any of the categories described in research literature. Using a Borderland theoretical approach, the authors explore the in-between spaces at the intersections of their identities…

Historically marginalized youth shape public life through civic literacies that are rooted in their identities and experiences with systemic injustices. Literacy scholarship has accordingly traced how practitioner inquiry, a participatory approach to knowledge production, can educationally support the flourishing of these literacies. But while…

Teamwork skills are a vital learning outcome in higher education, yet negative interpersonal interactions within teams can diminish students' sense of belonging and inclusion. To address this challenge, the introduction of equity, diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality (EDI&I) topics into course curriculums has been proposed. This study…

It is widely recognised that education plays a critical role in achieving gender equality, yet refugee girls face significant challenges in accessing education globally. This study, grounded on feminist theory, explores girls' gendered barriers to education in Zimbabwe's Tongogara Refugee Camp. Through focus group discussions and face-to-face…

This study explores how three multilingual learners of Japanese as a second language (L2) at an Australian university negotiate their language and (imagined) identities in relation to their L2 learning. Based on interview data, the results indicate that while the participants' imagined identities were closely connected with…

Thirty years into democracy and the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remain dominated by white men in South African universities. The government and higher education institutions (HEIs) are dedicated to transforming these fields to be representative of the African majority, yet they remain politicised, racialised,…

When categorizing faces by gender, children show evidence of intersectionality--miscategorizing Black females, but not White females, as male. Here we examined whether differential biases for Black and White females extend beyond perceptual tasks to judgments of social preferences. Children (N = 97, ages 4-9 years; 59.8% White and 40.2% non-White)…

This article highlights the intersections of Mattering, Dialogue, and Love--three seemingly distinct concepts, within schooling and research. Using sister circles, book presentations, and a critical ethnography, we underscore how a critical examination of one's lived experiences can serve as a platform for anti-racist and social justice work. In…
