Thiel, Jaye Johnson; Dernikos, Bessie P. – Journal of Literacy Research, 2020
In this article, we playfully revisit the same data scene, but from three different perspectives. We call these revisits "re-turns" to data. These "re-turns" draw upon moments with young boys playing at a makerspace located in a multiracial, working-class community. This idea of "re-turn" is not simply about…

Blum, Lawrence – Theory and Research in Education, 2015
Educational thought and research often operates with whole-race ("Black", "White", and "Asian") and whole-class ("low-income") categories.

Although the report does not focus on minority students directly or exclusively, these students nonetheless…

Dotson-Blake, Kylie P.; Knox, David; Zusman, Marty E. – Professional Counselor, 2012
Despite growing attention to the subject, a dearth of information exists regarding college students' perceptions and process of meaning-making related to the act of oral sex.
