Cultural capital can play a critical role in facilitating success in higher education. Consequently, scholars and educators often focus on the "possession" of cultural capital, highlighting differences in the amount or type of capital that students bring with them to college as a source of class-stratified educational experiences and…

As the fastest growing minority serving institution type, Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) play important roles in reaching and serving a diverse group of students beyond Hispanic/Latine-identified students, including Black students. To understand Black STEM transfer students' experiences at an HSI, we conducted and analyzed 10 student…

Despite the growing availability of classroom measures, such measures rarely attended to the embodied nature of learning. This article describes the collaborative development of a practical measure to capture embodied participation in mathematics classrooms with four elementary school teachers--working with students at the intersections of…

This study examines whether the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE-IT grant program identifies and funds institutions that improve faculty gender equity. By using matching procedures and a two-way fixed-effect event study, we find that when universities received ADVANCE-IT grants, their proportion and headcount of women faculty as full-time…

This paper launches public analysis of #USvsHate ('us versus hate'), a collective initiative to invite 'anti-hate' lessons and youth-made public messaging in U.S. schools. Building on multiple research traditions, the Authors designed and piloted #USvsHate regionally, then nationally, starting in 2017. Here, we explore the pros and cons of using…

U.S. universities are fraught with institutional barriers that challenge Black faculty members' ability to thrive in academia, while they also make attempts to broaden access and participation in fields like engineering and computing. The diversity-related service requested of Black faculty members can negatively complicate their chances for…

Students who are living in poverty suffer many disadvantages due to their low socio-economic status. This impact manifests itself both socially and academically. The research is rich on these impacts as well as the perception of teachers and school personnel of students in poverty. There is also much research to suggest that students in poverty…

This research aimed to analyse inclusive practice in academic integrity in the teaching, support, policies and procedures involved at one UK HE institution. Data was collected through two sets of stakeholder interviews: three students from disadvantaged groups who had experienced academic conduct investigations; eleven staff with key roles in…

This paper utilizes poststructural theory to analyze student artifacts that were collected from a history of mathematics course. The course was designed to counter three types of mathematical narratives, relating to: 1) race, 2) intelligence, and 3) innateness. To address these narratives, the course highlighted the contributions of communities of…

Many social scientists are working to course correct the historical mistakes, abuses, and exclusionary practices of the field. To diversify who participates in developmental science, both as participants and as researchers, we argue that more attention must be paid to how we teach the science of developmental science (i.e., research methods). We…

When providing feedback, teachers are concerned not only with the simple transmission of information, but also with motivational and interpersonal dynamics. To mitigate these concerns, teachers may inflate feedback by reducing negative or increasing positive content. The resulting difference between initial judgments and feedback may be even more…

This article attempts to unpack the experiences of children from marginalised Boom Boom Maatukarar community of Tamil Nadu inside the classroom. It sheds light on the stigma and discrimination faced by children from this community in…

Recent studies reveal people from marginalized groups (e.g., people of color and women) continue to earn physics degrees at alarmingly low rates. This phenomenon is not surprising given reports of the continued perception of physics as a masculine space and the discrimination faced by people of color and women within the field. To realize the…

This essay applies Critical Race Theory and Critical Whiteness Studies towards affirming the collective existence, experience, and humanity of educational leaders of Color, who tend to experience systemic dismissing and invisibilizing within educational institutions. Like racial commentators such as James Baldwin and Ta-Nehisi Coates, this essay…

In this article, we offer the perspective of a feminist of Color analysis on how teaching has been constructed into a race, gender, and class mold that purposely includes certain bodies--namely white middle-class women--while excluding anyone who does not fit the mold. More specifically, we use intersectionality to analyze the interplay between…
