This paper argues for an Asian American racialization that takes seriously the political economy of racial capitalism. To do so, it first discusses the racial category of Asian American, and then take up the myth of the Model Minority as the defining form of Asian American racialization in education. This paper then connects the Model Minority to…

In a racialized America, Asian Americans are forced to be a model minority and remain perpetually foreign in one body (Kawai, 2005; Kim et al., 2011; Kim, 1999, Kim, 2011; Wu, 2014). This is a unique experience that is understudied. The study brought together 18 Asian American nonprofit and educational leaders from across the US to engage in…

This article examines how Chinese international students perceive the racial identity of Asian Americans and how they position this pan-national, pan-ethnic, phenotypical-based group in relation to other oppressed minorities. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks of the world racial system and racial triangulation, this article argues that Chinese…

How Latinas experience their racial identity is unique when viewed through the Black and white racial dichotomy that exists in the United States. In Latin America, race is understood to be phenotypical and determined based off the color of your skin, whereas in the United States, race is often understood to be genotypical (Darity et. al, 2005),…

In this paper, I discuss how Walls employs color-blind ideology, a critical race theory (CRT) tenet to analyze the role of race in the draw-a-scientist (DAST) literature. Walls' article, "A critical race theory analysis of the draw-a-scientist test: Are they really that white?" exposes how omitting race in DAST research leads to…

This study asks, "How do instructors successfully engage students in learning about controversial issues of race without hitting the common tripwires of low trust, stereotyping or racial microaggressions?" To address this question, I conducted a study of two courses on race that were focussed on difficult issues, yet were consistently…

In this article Tiffany Wu, Adriana Villavicencio, and Verenisse Ponce Soria investigate how Asian American parents define and understand diversity and explore how racial attitudes influence parents' school choices. Drawing on a broader study of a school choice policy designed to reduce racial segregation in a large, urban school district, the…

Schools are recognized as sites where raciolinguistic ideologies operate, impacting Spanish- and African American Vernacular English-speaking students' education. However, it is often assumed that Indian American students are unaffected by these ideologies. This is fueled by headlines about Indian Americans excelling at spelling bee competitions,…

Studying the experiences of Black educators and Black people is particularly important given the rampant anti-Blackness present in K-12 schools. Often while studying Blackness in schools, the focus is on children and their oppression as it relates to their achievement. This study aimed to expand the fields of raciolinguistics, fugitivity, and…

Microaggressions have a pervasive presence in everyday interactions in the United States (Sue et al. 2007a, 2007b). It is not enough to identify, neutralize, or even delete microaggressions; they must be eradicated through microprogressions and conscious, everyday decisions that move society closer to anti-racist ideals. The dance classroom is a…

Tracking the depictions of animals in children's literature through history reveals not only what authors think about animals, but also what they think about the human experience and of childhood itself. As the word "animal" can be used both to mark the similarities and the differences between beasts and men, it makes sense then that…

Black resident assistants' experiences are shaped by race and racism. Previous research highlights the unique challenges that Black RAs encounter, such as isolation and hypervisibility, racial stereotypes, and unfair treatment from white supervisors. Most of this research is, however, located within predominantly white institutions (PWIs). As the…

"Teaching Black Masculinity through The Uncanny Black Kirby" will examine Marvel Comics's and Netflix's Luke Cage: Hero for Higher through the last 48 years of unstably grounded imaginings. The exhibition is an illustrated syllabus with a bibliography and contextualizing imagery that educators can use in a 10-16 week unit. Creating…

This study aims to understand how multiracial Asian American children are portrayed and illustrated in children's picturebooks, with a special focus on their racial identity development. Multiracial individuals are those whose parents are from two or more distinct racial groups (Reynolds, 2009; Viager, 2011). In this study, the descriptor…

In this study, I examined the effect of stereotype threat on the math task performance among Black undergraduate women (N = 103). Similar to Davis et al. (2006), I explored if racial identity beliefs moderated test performance in the face of stereotype threat. Although there is growing research on stereotype threat, few stereotype threat studies…
