Dietetics plays a pivotal role in maintaining health among all human beings (Slawson et al., 2013). Registered dietitians serve as the official, legally recognized healthcare providers for dietetics guidance (Davis & Affenito, 2014). The racial and ethnic profile of registered dietitians in the United States is largely White, lacks…

Of the minority Students of Color (SoC) that matriculate into STEM doctoral programs, many experience racial biases and micro-aggressions (Brown, et al., 2015). Using mixed-methods, we explore 17 STEM doctoral Students' of Color across multiple institutions experiences of racial discrimination, and their perceptions of their departments racial…

Our study explores relationships between postsecondary institutional type, according to the Carnegie classification of institutions, and faculty salaries based on race and gender. Critical Race Theories underpin our questions, including Critical Race Feminism and Quantitative Critical Race Theory. We ran multilevel statistical anaylses (three…

School reform efforts, particularly those that are concerned with equity and social justice have led to an evolution of educational leadership theories and practices. Among these, Culturally Responsive School Leadership and Critical Race Theory have emerged as potential frameworks for dismantling the ghost of neo-managerialism and its impact on…

Black students who attend PWIs often experience social exclusion on campus. To gain a greater understanding of this issue I conducted a qualitative research study that allowed me to gain insight of the difficulties that Black undergraduate students experience at PWIs. The institutions in this study excluded Black students by not providing the…

Racial and ethnic minorities in higher education have low enrollment and graduation rates. This well-known problem continues to plague the higher education system. Specifically, in athletic training, the enrollment and retention numbers for minorities are low compared with other healthcare education programs. Increasing the minority population in…

There is a growing body of literature signaling the relevance of race in leadership development, but many conventional models do not prompt exploration of this social identity. The omission of race in leadership curriculum is disadvantageous for all college students, but among White student leaders, it may be a continuance of White privilege. The…

This study examined whether racial identity attitudes, resilience, microaggressions experienced in one's academic program, and coping skills predicted academic resilience for African American/Black, single-parent mothers pursuing doctoral degrees. A mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data, was used in this study to…

As school districts become increasingly racially diverse, minorities remain practically invisible in the role of superintendent; specifically, Black women. Historical analysis depicts the superintendency as a White male-dominated position and highlights significant challenges experienced by women in the field. Literature available on the topic of…

A vast research literature documents racial bias in teachers' evaluations of students. Theory suggests bias may be larger on grading scales with vague or overly-general criteria versus scales with clearly-specified criteria, raising the possibility that well-designed grading policies may mitigate bias. This study offers relevant evidence through a…

Background: The presence of African women in mathematics has been nearly invisible. The underrepresentation of African women in this field is a result of their historical socio-political marginalisation. The mathematics discipline is politicised, racialised, and gendered to systematically oppress African women. The mathematics fields continue to…

This article draws on environmental justice frameworks located in urban planning (Agyeman et al., 2002; Pellow, 2007) and critical place inquiry (Tuck & McKenzie, 2014) to focus on the relationship between green building curriculum, career and technical education, and climate justice. Green building--a rapidly growing field within the…

Early childhood teacher preparation programs offer a curriculum that centers the White normative perspective (i.e., devoid of diverse perspectives). Because the young children and families that these teachers will work with are representative of the U.S. demographic, it is important that these programs consider alternate ways of preparing their…

This article provides analysis of and commentary on the Indigenous roots of oral history. Drawing from our experience with our institutional review board determining that our work was not research, we review literature to engage in a (re)vision of oral history research while asserting the legitimacy of our research process. From this, we argue…

Background: New York City is one of the most segregated school districts in the country, but between 2012 and 2021, school integration moved from a marginal to a central education policy. Existing narratives have emphasized the efforts of parents and school and political leaders, with less attention given to the significance of citywide coalitions…
