In 2019, three Black social work instructors simultaneously taught a required anti-oppressive practice (AOP) course to a cohort of undergraduate social work students. Through collective autoethnography (CAE), we sought to deepen our understanding of our experience within the classroom and how our identity as Black women was negotiated within the…

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how racially minoritized patients and clinicians have suffered racial discrimination. It also made visible the ways in which Asians across the globe experience racial hate and illuminated that the experiences of Asians in medicine are not often spotlighted. In the United States specifically, Asian Americans are…

The need to increase the number of Black educators in United States (US) classrooms is predicated on the demographic imbalance between a primarily white teacher force and a racially and culturally diverse student population. It is also premised on the demonstrated value that Black teachers bring to the classroom, especially for Black children.…

This paper explores the perceptions of future career trajectories amongst racialised minority PhDs in UK higher education. Drawing on 22 semi-structured interviews, my findings discuss how racialised minority PhDs relate to an academic career trajectory and identity, how they experience white organisational spaces and how diversity, or lack…

This paper is based on the ethnographic multiple case study of four refugee background youths from Burma at four different schools in a midwestern urban school district in the US. My research finds that the normalization of English constructed the focal youths' language-related identities. I also argue that through this normalization, language…

Prior to becoming a mathematics educator, I was a teacher in Prince George's County, Maryland. Because of the success I experienced with culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP), it became part of my research agenda along with teaching mathematics for social justice (TMfSJ). Databases like 23andme and Ancestry can be used as a context for CRP and TMfSJ.…

Religious, secular, and spiritual identities (RSSIs) are an important aspect of the complex experiences of students in higher education. Often dismissed or forgotten by higher education professionals, RSSIs have shifted drastically over the 20+ years since Love and Talbot first wrote about them in 1999. While scholarship on RSSIs has steadily…

The current push for more diverse populations to attend predominantly white institutions frequently overlooks the political nuances of racial and ethnic identity in higher education. When there is a push for Black students, who are they talking about? Do they want African American students, Black Caribbean students, or Black African students?…

Research suggests discrepancies between principals of color and White principals in their motivations and reflections on racism and how it shapes their philosophies, practice, and persistence in leading schools in historically underserved urban communities. Several scholars have discussed the pivotal role of early racial identity experiences in…

The family and classroom are important contexts that can contribute to the socialization of ethnic prejudice. However, less is known about their unique, relative, and synergic contributions in influencing youth's affective and cognitive prejudice. The current longitudinal study examined these processes and possible moderators among 688 Italian…

Past and current research has explored the link between the "blackness" of a person's name and socioeconomic outcomes in American society. Black-sounding names were shown to influence employment prospects, access to credit markets, and choice of housing among other opportunities. While education research had identified a relationship…

This article examines how inequalities of race impact on the way migrant teachers of English in Thailand articular their identity and belonging to the teaching profession and to the society they live in. There is at present a rather limited body of work on the migration of language teachers, despite the fact that mobility of teachers across…

Although W.E.B. Du Bois' impact on race theory is well-known among social scientists; his work is not widely incorporated into the sociolinguistic canon on racial identity through language. Moreover, one pervasive feature in sociolinguistic discourses is the paucity of literature exploring the Afro-Portuguese language. In addressing these…

Race-based trauma (RBT) negatively impacts the physical and psychological well-being of the Black community. RBT literature is confined to scholarly journals rarely accessed by the people who will benefit most from awareness. This dissertation aimed to fill the gap in qualitative research examining the experiences of Black people impacted by RBT.…

Universities often sponsor workshops about diversity and inclusion that students are mandated to attend. Yet, little is known about students' expectations and reactions to such workshops, as well as how such expectations and reactions are associated with students' gender identity, racial-ethnic identification, and race-related attitudes such as…
