Sojoyner (2016) argues that both schools and prisons function…

Injustices are woven into the fabric of the U.S. education system. Teacher education programs (TEPs) need to prepare teachers to identify inequities and dismantle them. In other words, TEPs need to prepare teachers to engage in critical reflection and teach their subject matter for social justice. Here, I explore what preservice teachers' (PSTs)…

Schools are sites of unfreedom. As such we engage in freedom dreaming and co-constituting of non-negotiables of an "abolitionist teacher residency (ATR)." This conceptual article asks: what non-negotiables are necessary when centering abolition in residency work? Our dream guides illustrate the need to draw on radical imaginations,…

Youth from socially marginalized populations are at increased risk of experiencing adolescent dating violence (ADV), since they are often directly impacted by root causes of violence (e.g., homophobia, racism).
