Migrants, along with youth, stand at the forefront of gig economy in many countries. Gig work intersects with other domains of migrants' post-migration life, including career development. To substantiate "plural systems of knowledges" [Sultana, R. G. (2021). For a postcolonial turn in career guidance: The dialectic between universalisms…

Impending climate crises, profound wealth inequality and unprecedented vulnerability to global catastrophe at the hands of technology make working towards justice a necessity, and a desperate one at that.

The school counseling profession has an ethical responsibility to provide and advocate for individual students' career planning and development, while expanding school counselors' own multicultural and social justice advocacy to become effective culturally competent professionals.

Historically, higher education was established for the privileged few. Enslaved Black people set free to fend for themselves in "separate but equal" sub-standard schools found a way to flourish despite the odds; yet not without a price and not without the sweat, blood, and tears of their ancestors. Critical Race Theory stated that race,…

The dearth of research on the journeys of Black women led to the desire to conduct a research project that seeks to fill a void of research on the lived experiences of racially marginalized Black women community college presidents. A qualitative multiple bounded case study design was used in this study. As the number of minority women who become…

Given the imbalance in the ratio of male to female ADHD diagnosis, there is a dearth of information on the profile for women with ADHD, especially in adulthood and with those of higher intelligence levels (Rommelse et al., 2016). Each, if not all, diagnoses of ADHD or giftedness come from a parent, teacher, or outside observer's scale of symptoms…
