In understanding the systemic effects of White supremacist patriarchal ideologies on the experiences of Black girls and Black women in schools, one must begin with a critical examination of the behavioral practices that govern public spaces in which Black girls and Black women live and learn. Therefore, here we discuss the effects of these White…

Women of Color have a variety of experiences within academia, many of which are marred by the interstices of racism, classism, sexism, and the hetero patriarchy that upholds the structure of white supremacy in higher education (Gay, 2004; Pena, 2022). However, there is a legacy of Women of Color who have created and continue to create collectives…

In recent decades, initiatives to diversify post-secondary educational spaces have blossomed. Many of these "broadening participation" efforts are in STEM undergraduate departments that, historically and presently, predominantly serve white men. Using a raced-gendered theoretical lens, we conducted a narrative analysis of interviews with…

Using journaling as a catalyst for transformative healing; three young, Black women discuss their intersecting identities and bear witness to each other's memories. To resist racist…

This article narrates the contours of a digital "kitchen table talk"--a conversation that brought together WoC from various areas of literacy and language education to discuss the state of the field and the next steps in transforming literacy studies and education for GFoC.

Research has recognized the importance of libraries and librarians in supporting, managing, and sustaining open educational resources (OER) programs in postsecondary institutions.

This paper uses critical race theory to analyze several case studies focused on the experiences of two restorative justice coordinators (RJCs), both Black women and how they understood and responded to perceived racial injustices in urban schools with white leadership. These schools were attempting to address unequal disciplinary practices toward…

In this paper, I discuss the gendered-racialised interactional and contextual dynamics hindering the socialisation of ethnic minoritised women (EMW) within Belgian higher education.

Despite the diversity and inclusion efforts of higher education institutions, immigrant and minority students frequently experience marginalisation that adversely affects their academic progress. In this article, we examine the under-researched population of immigrant women in Icelandic universities. Drawing on the intersectionality perspective,…

As agentic documents, anti-trans policies express a yearning for the queer, the trans, the black, exist[strikethrough] through a poetics of silence. In this conceptual manuscript, I discuss voice as a trans woman phenomenon, a phonic movement through which trans women reorganize themselves to the world. The annihilation of trans women's voice,…

In this article, we build upon the ethics of "collective intersectional care" (Nyachae & Pham 2024), a concept central to Women of Color feminisms to emphasize the pedagogical rigors of carework in K-12 classrooms. Drawing from a yearlong video ethnography of the racial literacy practices of teachers of Color, we analyze a case study…

Heeding Gloria Anzaldúa's (2012) call to cultivate, "new theories with new theorizing methods," this article articulates the contours of a Critical Race Feminista Epistolary Praxis (CRFEP). CRFEP, a writing-based methodological intervention nestled within anti-racist and social justice traditions, fosters opportunities for Women of Color…

Women who identify as Asian, Black/African American, Latina/Chicana, Indigenous/Native American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Native Alaskan, and/or multiracial have…
