Searching for missing or wanted people is a crucial task in our society. Previous work on prospective person memory (PPM) has demonstrated that performance on this type of search task is worse relative to standard prospective memory tasks. Importantly, this process may be further affected by the race of the missing person, yet this has never been…

In his 2017 ASHE Presidential Address, Shaun Harper first named some historical, compositional, curricular, and editorial manifestations of white power in U.S. universities and in the study of higher education. He then talked specifically about the preservation of white property rights and racialized socialization norms in our field. President…

Evaluators must attend to the destructive forces of racialization and racism to contribute to social transformation. Thus, evaluators are called to center culture, context, equity, and social justice during each step of the evaluation process. Here, we focus on the step(s) in which evaluators define program quality and specify evaluative lines of…

Although research applying antiracist frameworks to a variety of disciplines has multiplied, best practices for the application of antiracist principles to counselor education have yet to be established. This article outlines one program's steps to dismantle racism throughout curriculum and andragogy. Outcomes and lessons learned are offered as…

Applying the tenets of QuantCrit, longitudinal trends in estimated graduate school enrollment percentages for Black and White students from 2002 to 2018 were analyzed and compared using U.S. Department of Education data. While the statistical analyses for Black students confirmed a positive linear trend, the relatively recent downward movement…

In critical approaches to the study of whiteness, white ignorance refers to systematic and intentional ways of (not) knowing that function to perpetuate racism. The current critical qualitative analysis examines how white ignorance surfaces in the racial identity narratives of white adolescents (N = 69, M[subscript age] = 15.91, SD = 0.49, data…

Recent scholarship in comparative and international education (CIE) has witnessed the emergence of two competing viewpoints on the history of the field. One draws increasing attention to the ways CIE has been implicated in colonial projects and how the underpinning racist ideologies persist in the field today. The other perspective rejects this…

Many U.S. education researchers studying racism and minoritized groups, including Latinxs, face the question of how to conceptualize Latinx vis-à-vis race. This question is important to the education field because schools--and education research--contribute to our society's understanding of race and the formation of racialized groups. The author…

Continuous improvement (CI) methods are growing in popularity around the world as approaches to leadership and educational change. There has been particular interest in using CI methods such as collaborative data inquiry to address racial inequities in schools. But these 'wicked' problems are, in many ways, more complex and uncertain than the…

Despite a perceived post-racist era prevalent in various forms of social discourse, racial injustice is still perpetuated throughout the United States. This conceptual article explores the ways white supremacy is still prevalent in counselor education as well as ways to disrupt white supremacy in counselor education.

As a way to conclude, this article elaborates key themes that emerged from the collected articles in this volume. Each article carries its own important message about the role of adult education in confronting White Christian nationalism, while here, Prins and Carr-Chellman offer a thematic interpretation of the volume as a whole. These themes…

Racial disparities in school discipline have been previously identified, with studies like Okonofua and Elberhardt (2015) using scenarios with minor infractions indicating the role of teacher racial bias in these disparities. In this research, we sought to replicate and extend their study by adding the age of the student (child vs. teen) as an…

Our study provides a review of theories that were used to study race and racism between 2010 and 2019 in higher education. We conducted a content analysis to identify concepts, statements and models used in higher education studies focused on race and racism in the three most highly read United States higher education journals. We also identified…

Purpose: This study aims to present radical abolition studies, which encourages us to (re)member that the abolition of institutions and systems is incomplete without the abolition of their attendant epistemes of domination. The authors draw on the etymology of the word radical to encourage abolitionist praxis to grab systemic harm at its…
