In the next 20 years, the Hispanic student population is projected to become the dominant demographic in public schools in the United States.

While increasing the equitable participation in computer science (CS) education at schools, most existing studies focus on the acquisition of computational skills and measurements of cognitive skills as the learning outcome. The potential benefits of developing psychosocial attributes in the process of computational learning are of less concern,…

The principles of critical pedagogy proposed by Paolo Freire have been widely cited as presenting the necessary intellectual tools to underpin sport-based programmes that are targeted towards marginalised groups. Yet, despite the widespread advocacy for Freire's educational philosophy, to date there have been few attempts to present theoretical…

This article draws on critical race theory, intersectionality, critical feminism, queer and indigenous paradigms to critique existing approaches to leader/leadership identity development (LID) and to illuminate how people from marginalized and oppressed communities can experience more just and equitable pathways to leadership.

Latinx men continue to be marginalized in higher education, and more research is needed to understand how to retain them using anti-deficit frameworks (Cook et al., 2012). Studies have investigated caballerismo as a protective factor for LatinX men. Caballerismo is defined by egalitarian beliefs, affiliation, positive family relationships, and…

The study was situated within a narrative inquiry methodology. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews and narrative frames to capture how Islamic principles contribute…

This paper employs an autobiographical approach to reflect on some limitations of conventional academic conferences in creating community and supporting deep learning. By and large conventional large conferences tend to be premised on what Brazilian educator Paulo Freire calls the banking model of education and therefore frequently reproduce…

Children in under-resourced schools are often subjected to a "pedagogy of poverty," in which their school days consist primarily of independently completing worksheets and preparing for assessments. By contrast, children in more affluent schools often experience engaging, hands-on learning opportunities. This discrepancy is identified as…

The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges and barriers that exist for recent college graduates with multiple historically marginalized identities in their early career development as they worked through occupational attainment, newcomer adjustment, and person-organization. Furthermore, the study aimed to learn about the strategies…

Research in mathematics education has described learning and identity development as dynamic, negotiated, and cultural. However, disciplined ways of engaging in school mathematics remain most valued, resulting in positioning only some learners as successful. Research that investigates mathematics learning and identity has predominantly occurred in…

This paper addresses the problem of the legacy of Western philosophical thought for community-engaged learning. Binaries between subject and object, and between theory and practice, present challenges to developing a coherent vision of the transformative potential of community-engaged learning or service learning. Some Western thinkers, however,…
