Criminal justice scholars and practitioners have sought to identify strategies to increase and improve diversity in police agencies since the 1960s Civil Rights era. Moreover, the difficulties recruiting racial and ethnic minority police officers indicated there is distrust and fear of the police, which includes police culture/practices that…

This qualitative study delved into the lived experiences of individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). Specifically, the study investigated encounters with racial microaggressions among BIPOC counselor education faculty and doctoral students through a qualitative research approach. The research question was,…

The present paper explores approaches to the classification of ethnic identity. In the framework of research on comparative classifications, we analyse the contextual factors that influence classification in Hungarian education. We compared the number of students who self-reported as Roma with the respective number reported by the school heads (as…

Research on the dearth of teachers of color has focused on disparities in college enrollment, completion, and academic major. The present study examines whether disparities may begin earlier. Analyses of nationally representative longitudinal data show that students of color are 2 to 4 percentage points less likely to hold teaching career…

The experiences of disabled girls of color have historically been ignored within and/or excluded from US educational research and thus, are often unheard and under-recognized. Few scholars use an intersectional lens to examine how inequities impact disabled girls of color. In this call to action to the research community, existing scholarship…

Continued migration flows are inevitable, and research into favorable conditions for educating students in pluralistic societies is timely. This study attempts to address the operationalization of favorable conditions when educating children in diverse societies. Previous research into the contact hypothesis and acculturation theory has suggested…

Despite the importance of field in social work education, little is known about the specific experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students in field placements. In this qualitative study with 42 social work students, we explored what factors contribute to meaningful experiences in field. Findings include: (a) connection to…

Early childhood can be a time of rich discovery, a period when educators have an opportunity to harness their students' fascination to create unique learning opportunities. Some teachers engage with their students' ideas in ways that make learning collaborative--but not all students have access to these kinds of learning environments. In…

We share our theorizing about a common statement regarding a math person that is often perceived as innocuous in society. More specifically, we are referring to people's responses when an individual shares that they are studying mathematics, such as "I have always hated math" and "Oh, you must be so smart." We draw on the…

Purpose: Most research about combating the whiteness of teacher education neglects to analyze the whiteness of the higher education institutional contexts housing teacher preparation programs. This gap also holds true within research exploring Minority Serving Institutions' potential to graduate large numbers of teachers of color. Consequently,…

Faculty diversity and affirmative action in institutes of higher education (IHEs) have been discussed widely for many decades. In the literature, less is known about student viewpoints on faculty and administration diversity. We conducted a scoping review of the literature to examine student perspectives of faculty and administration diversity…

Ethnic hierarchies, that is, hierarchical representations of ethnic groups, are typical for multiethnic societies. However, little is known about whether pupils elicit such hierarchies and whether these hierarchies vary with respect to the pupils' ethnicity. This awareness may shed light on whether and to what extent pupils perceive particular…

We present the findings from our inquiry conducted between spring 2019 and spring 2020. It focused on women and students from underrepresented or marginalized populations as they navigated moments in their transition from school to university mathematics, or the secondary-tertiary transition (STT) in mathematics. We draw on Di Martino & Zan's…

While decades of scholarship show the oppression of women by the enforcement of patriarchal gender norms, little research has explored the ways in which masculinity receives preferential treatment over femininity, independent of a man/woman binary. This exploration is needed to understand why femininity is devalued within the heteropatriarchal…

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…
