This paper examines the relationship between language, (in)visibility, and (im)mobility in racialized spaces, focusing on Finnish, Somali, and Arabic speakers in Sweden. Using a theoretical framework based on hegemonic whiteness and intersectionality, the study explores how multilingual practices and subjectivities intersect with race, religion,…

Middle grades teachers and middle grades teacher educators are practicing in a complex sociocultural and sociopolitical moment. As part of the recent critical turn in middle grades education, antiracist teaching and equity pedagogies have gained momentum in the middle grades education literature. Calls to engage in these practices, however, have…

At the same time teachers and administrators grapple with how to develop teachers' understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom, recent legislative sessions have unleashed a flood of legislation that seeks to limit teachers from teaching about race, racism, oppression, and injustice in U.S. schools. Teachers are struggling…

This qualitative, descriptive single case study examined Black graduate students' perceptions of campus racial climate at a predominantly white institution (PWI) and how they were shaped by a president's response to racialized incidents. A greater understanding of how Black graduate students' narratives reveal how whiteness inhabits the PWI and…

This study presents the experiences of Latino/a faculty and administrators in Hispanic seminaries or departments at white-dominated higher education institutions. The narratives reflect that the underrepresentation of Latino leadership in Hispanic seminaries creates an environment of rejection with religious overtones. The concept derived from the…

The antagonism between "class" and "race" have plagued educational theory for decades. As a communist organizer seeking to move Marxist educational theory out of the stagnant waters of theoretical debates, I turn to recent CRT scholarship, which I find much more in line with the communist project. Yet, this literature omits…

This study uses a qualitative research design, a phenomenological approach, and a narrative inquiry component to delve into the past and present experiences of six Black women who engaged in the talk, a colloquial expression for conversations that Black parents have with their children about the dangers they face due to racism or unjust treatment.…

Empirical research has established that exclusionary discipline is applied to black students at a higher rate than white students for similar offenses, and that this disproportionality cannot be attributed to the severity or frequency of misconduct. Exclusionary discipline, which removes a student from the educational setting, poses significant…

Racial biases, which harm marginalized and excluded communities, may be combatted by clarifying misconceptions about race during biology lessons. We developed a human genetics laboratory activity that challenges the misconception that race is biological (biological essentialism). We assessed the relationship between this activity and student…

Poststructuralist research in language and identity demonstrates how individuals exert agency to enact alternative identities, reshape power structures, and gain access to resources. However, this approach to agency carries immense risk for minoritized individuals, who must regularly negotiate their identities under systemic racism and linguistic…

In this paper, we explored our experiences navigating new identities as international students of color during our doctoral programs. Duoethnography, functioning as a dialogic space, facilitated the unpacking of our experiences and our understanding of how race/racism shapes our racial identities and everyday experiences. The paper is organized…

Most private schools in the United States have a history of racialized segregation. Despite this, families from historically oppressed backgrounds often choose to navigate private schools for the academic and social benefits they promise. As diversifying institutions, private schools must attend to how the unique context of private funding changes…

The present study explored the role race-related barriers and practical barriers to treatment participation play in treatment effectiveness and satisfaction among Black families with autistic youth using a mixed-method approach. In a sample of Black caregivers with autistic youth (N = 101), multiple regressions were conducted to examine the impact…
