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…

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…

In this essay, two women of Color researchers examine the intersections of race and disability and ask, "What is the power and purpose of positioning and positionality statements?" Informed by Black feminist theory, and drawing from the DisCrit tenets of intersectional oppressions, historicity, and whiteness and ability as property, the…

This paper focuses on an intersectional feminism approach to writing assignments in which students served as co-creators of knowledge engaged in the development of an open-access book titled "Motivation in Learning, Training, and Development: A Collection of Essays," while enrolled in the "Principles of Learner Motivation"…

Special educators are increasingly drawing from intersectionality and Black feminist theory to make sense of the disproportionate deleterious outcomes experienced by racialized students labeled with disabilities. While intersectionality gains a stronger hold in special education discourse, agencies like the Florida Department of Education are…

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…

This article investigates the role of autoethnographic research as the methodological tool of choice for an Asian American educator-activist-scholar (Suzuki & Mayorga, Multicultural Perspectives, 16(1), 16-20, 2014) who positions herself with a collaborative, critical, and intersectional ecofeminist perspective. I propose that…

In this article, the authors explore how their intersectional identities as Black immigrant/immigrant descendent women academics inform their research epistemologies in relation to who they are, what they research, and how they perform research. Through the intersections of race, migration, gender, and class they explore four key themes: (1)…

This paper provides an overview of a Critical Race Feminista praxis-oriented methodological framework in development called FilmCrit, and a critical race method expanded into filmic form called Cinematic Critical Race Counterstorytelling.

This Research Brief provides an overview of the current scholarship on transnational feminist rhetorics (TFR), drawing from interdisciplinary traditions. TFR inquiries should always begin with "a cogent analysis of power" (Dingo et al.), attending to how transnational power dynamics act on gendered bodies and how those bodies engage with…

Background/Context: Leah Boveda, a sophomore at Brown University, collaborated with her mother--Mildred Boveda, an intersectional studies scholar situated in special education and teacher education--to make sense of her high school community activism in Arizona.

Four themes within Life course theory will be explored. The interplay of human lives and historical times, the timing of lives, linked or interdependent lives, and human agency will be explored along with perspectives on gender, feminism, and intersectionality in order to examine current teaching challenges and impact on faculty and students by…

Creative thought leaders and educators have readily invited and challenged humans to harness the imagination as a way to envision otherwise. Ethical teaching and learning processes demand creating equity along a continuum of critical and creative practices (Freire, 1970/2014; hooks, 2009; Love, 2019). Some in the field of art education have taken…
