Up to now, social construction is still held by patriarchal views that result in the emergence of male domination in all fields, including in elementary education. Although the government has tried to suppress this bias, some practices still make one gender appears inferior. This study aims to determine if there is gender bias in elementary school…

The responsiveness of at-risk adolescent Ethiopian girls to the contents of a workshop promoting their occupational aspirations was found to be related to their belief in their ability to negotiate the unwelcome ethno-racial gaze of Israeli society. This belief is closely tied to the way they perceive and experience their ethno-racial blackness --…

Background: Research exploring mechanisms driving inequalities in school systems has found that biased teacher judgements contribute to observed disadvantages for ethnic minority students. Teacher judgements may be driven by explicit and implicit attitudes. Aims: The current research explored the effect of cultural diversity at schools (actual or…

This chapter discusses and unpacks the ways in which gendered racism impacts African American female academics. An understanding of gendered racist realism exposes dominant racist ideologies in the academy, in general. Ontological beingness, specifically the "ontological we," affords African American women the opportunity to confront and…

The process of permanent exclusion from school offers a heightened example of the rejections necessary to keep the English neoliberal education treadmill running. This extreme end of education's disciplinary apparatus illuminates trends less immediately legible across the system, namely how securitization and neoliberal governance heighten…

There is a current push to understand and address the under-representation of Black folks in physics, and STEM more broadly. This dissertation presents research that explores this lack of representation through studies of identity and practice, premised on an understanding of systems of oppression operating within the culture of physics. This work…

The body of work regarding gender bias in academia shows that female instructors are often rated lower by students than their male counterparts. Mechanisms are complex and intersectional and often associated with role congruity theory. Little research has examined parallel patterns in graduate teaching assistant (TA) evaluations. In research…

Middle East studies, and in particular the study of the politics of the Middle East stands at a crossroads pedagogically a decade after the Arab Spring. This study observed an experimental pre- or partial Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) engagement between Political Science students in New Zealand and the Sultanate of Oman to…

Student teaching offers a potentially rich yet underutilized space for teacher educators to support elementary teacher candidates (TCs) in developing dispositions and practices consistent with culturally responsive teaching (CRT). In this study, we found that a cohort of TCs who engaged in a hands-on anti-bias family/community engagement module…

In 2018, 13.3% of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families with international marriages had at least one child with a disability enrolled in South Korean public schools. Increasing school diversity requires special education teachers to bring new professional knowledge(s) and identities to meet the unique needs of CLD students with…

Interculturality, inclusion, and diversity are generally associated with bilingualism in countries with different sociocultural identities, but rarely with school coexistence among students hailing from different backgrounds. The present systematic review is framed in a descriptive-qualitative approach since its main objective is to provide an…

As educators have pushed for inclusion of all marginalized students of different identities, we've seen a backlash of political and parental indignation. Andy Hargreaves and Dennis Shirley suggest that while it's sometimes clear who is right and who is wrong in these disputes, some issues aren't so clear, and people's multiple identities can come…

Students and employees from Colorado State University School of Social Work partnered to co-lead a comprehensive student and employee community-building initiative focused on enhancing 2SLGBTQ+ student and employee well-being and belonging. The Queer Umbrella, created in response to queer and trans-identifying students and employees' experiences…

Machine learning (ML) methods for causal inference have gained popularity due to their flexibility to predict the outcome model and the propensity score. In this article, we provide a within-group approach for ML-based causal inference methods in order to robustly estimate average treatment effects in multilevel studies when there is cluster-level…

The underrepresentation of female faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines is a globally acknowledged gender equity concern; however, it remains under-researched in post-Soviet contexts. Using a theoretically informed analysis, this paper explores how female STEM faculty members navigate their gender…
