The prevalence of gendered racism has resulted in the ongoing under-representation of women of color in science careers. Furthermore, organizational strategies enacted through HR policy and training claim to address such inequality, yet often fail to address the impact of both race and gender.

Postsecondary institutions are viewed as spaces where students can become exposed to different ways of thinking and "being" beyond their own subjective experiences (Gortmaker & Brown, 2006).

This article engages with three commonly traversed social studies topics--depictions of violence and death from the French Revolution, during the Vietnam War, and regarding U.S. histories of racial segregation--through the lens of Achille Mbembe's "necropolitics" (i.e., political and social machinations of power that determine who lives…

Drawing from a yearlong literacy ethnography conducted at a high school in a Midwestern U.S. city, this article extends queer literacies and queer pedagogies scholarship by exploring the frictions and resonances between strategies of inclusion and queering. While inclusion strategies emphasize using expanded representations of sexuality and…
