The article begins with an introduction to my digital archival project, the deconstructive approach in it, and the questions that are guiding both the project and the article. Then, I present the ethical dilemmas I encountered after I decided to build a digital archive. I connect these dilemmas with the--witting or otherwise--orientalist pattern…

We argue that traditional service-learning programs commodify People of Color for the benefit of white people and white-serving institutions. First, we use racial capitalism, white normativity, and race frames to deconstruct service-learning programs. We offer three critiques of what we term "white-serving service-learning": (1) race and…

Done poorly, SEL faces the risk of becoming "white supremacy with a hug," says equity advocate Dena Simmons. Social-emotional learning that doesn't address the trauma of racism only serves to protect white comfort.

For much of our lives, we have struggled with not feeling enough in our racial identities, believing one could identify as an Asian or Black person in the "right" way. This quest toward racial authenticity has resulted in feelings of shame and failure, as we strived to reach a marker that was unachievable. In this duoethnography, we…

The purpose of this project was to understand how implicit views of authority support or limit prospective elementary teachers' (PTs) mathematical activity of justifying and to understand how the experience of justifying might support a development of an internal source of authority. In this case study of 18 PTs, we coordinate an analysis of (1)…

Unpaid internships are embedded in sport hegemony. These unpaid sport internships often offer fewer learning opportunities and foster an environment wherein interns feel like "second-class citizens" in their organization. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the world of unpaid internships in the sport industry by…

There continues to be widespread anxiety about the future of work. I recently proposed a labor studies perspective on how to understand and meet undeniable challenges. This follow-up paper explores the implications of my analysis for the contemporary American academy, reflecting on how labor studies can help enlist public research universities in…

For centuries, language has been used by the dominant culture both as a means of constructing power and as a way of maintaining it. Race, language, gender, and sexuality can all contribute to reinforcing one's identity as an "other." In doing so the dominant culture can create and reinforce blame and the perpetuation of minority groups…

This dissertation explores new possibilities for researching and representing community-engaged curriculum and pedagogical practices among faculty and their doctoral students. Community-engagement is (re)imagined within nonfiction-fiction writing to provide a line of inquiry that integrates data and theory (Jackson & Mazzei, 2017). I probe,…

This study investigates the impacts of the decisions made by administrators of color on students of color that attend secondary campuses in the Jefferson Independent School District (JISD). In this school district, administrators discipline students of color at a higher rate than students of other races in the school district. This qualitative…

Research into how to support student teachers to work with diverse school students frequently uses a narrow, Anglocentric lens based on binary language speaker labels. This lens limits understandings of the complex factors impacting any individual's ability to teach inclusively. Given the increases in diversity in the tertiary sector, we therefore…

This article analyses the implications of recent policy changes for the portrayal of minority nationalities in the latest China's history textbooks published around 2017. We argue that ideological responses to the fierce ethnic clashes of the late 2000s and the leadership transition since 2012 have generated increasingly contradictory official…

Haiti is among the most climate-vulnerable nations in the world, and Haitian youth face disproportionate risks to their health and well-being. Yet, to date, few studies have partnered with young people to position them as agents of change addressing climate change impacts in their communities, particularly in Global South contexts. As a step…

This chapter draws upon duoethnographic methodology to invite readers into conversation about the complexity and importance of centering positionality in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). We suggest that self-reflection towards positional awareness fosters ethically rooted, authentic SoTL practice, and offer related considerations…

Examinations of fraternity life have infrequently analyzed the interconnections between the focus on leadership attitudes and that of members' adherence to masculinities. In this critical quantitative study, the authors sought to comprehend how conforming to gendered norms often associated with historically white masculinities informed relational…
