Because higher education creates more informed individuals, healthier citizens, social prestige, job satisfaction, and numerous other non-economic benefits, it is important that all members of society have opportunities for successful educational achievement. Using data for undergraduate students enrolled in a business college of a large Hispanic…

While race in TESOL has gained traction in recent years, less research has focused on Asian American teachers working in Asian contexts, not to mention Chinese adoptees from the US working as English teachers in Asia. Drawing from our larger study on the work narratives of Asian Americans teaching English in Taiwan, this paper examines how Chinese…

The purpose of this mixed methods descriptive case study was to explore teachers' racial awareness about Black and Asian identities through race-based professional development (PD) and implicit racial bias. Teachers unintentionally bring implicit biases into the classroom experience which can impact student racial identity development. This study…

Millennials make up the largest segment of the workforce today and it is estimated that by 2025, 75% of the global workforce will comprise this emerging generation (Fry, 2018). In this current study, I examine the career attitudes of Latinx and Asian American Millennial and Gen Z college students to understand better how their unique college…

Limited psychological research has disaggregated the experiences of Asian American (AA) from international Asian (IA) college students seeking psychotherapy. When combined, important differences between these groups are overlooked. We examined archival data collected from AA, IA, and European American (EA) students at a large, Western, university…

While scholars have noted the levels of educational attainment of Hmong Americans compared to East Asian Americans as well as the overall population, this focus has undermined the achievements of Hmong Americans. To shift the discourse on Hmong American students and provide a liberatory perspective, I examined the student-initiated organizing…

Adolescent Asian American males frequently encounter prejudice, discrimination, and emasculation, which result from and are exacerbated by the myth of the "model minority" group. This article provides school counselors with a group intervention, based on a collectivism and resiliency framework, for working with Asian American adolescent…

Affirmative action critics argue that race-conscious admissions policies are keeping Asian American enrollment numbers unfairly low because Asian American students are held to higher admissions standards than applicants of any other race or ethnicity. "Selective Bias: Asian Americans, Test Scores, and Holistic Admissions" evaluates the…

This brief investigates the ways in which students engaged in test prep, whether underserved learners participated in different test prep activities than their peers, and whether any of the test prep features were related to performance on the ACT.

The racial and cultural climates at predominantly White institutions of higher education have a history of being unwelcoming and unsupportive of administrators and leaders of color. Leaders of color have filled a majority of the leadership positions charged with advancing diversity and equity-driven agendas at predominantly White institutions. The…

Much of the existing literature on Vietnamese Americans focuses on experiences of previous generations and does not capture the perspectives of the current generation of Vietnamese Americans, more specifically those who are college students. The present study examined the role of family influence on college experiences for Vietnamese American…

Based on 135 ethnic afterschool programs and language schools, this descriptive study (Part 2 of 2 in this issue) revealed differences in the types of programs housed within East, South, and Southeast Asian coethnic communities (strong, weak, or dispersed) in the U.S. The article applies a combined cultural-structural framework to understand…

The realities of COVID-19 have clearly revealed the myth of the model minority, a stereotype in which Asian Americans are seen as successful and high achieving in contrast to other Communities of Color. An ever-present, but sometimes seemingly dormant, anti-Asian racism in the United States is reflective of patterns in U.S. immigration history.…

Academic writing is a critical activity through which scholars establish their stature in the field with ensuing academic successes. These "successes" rely on conventions that determine what questions are important to ask, what is the most rigorous methodology to employ, what constitutes "good" quality writing, and who is our…

This proposal begins with a critical race commentary on how the current day anti-Asian racism is nothing more than a similar playing out of the United States's handbook on anti-Asian sentiment. Then the paper takes a narrative turn employing Pinay methodologies such as "kuwentos." Each "kuwento" illuminates how Pinay…
