Minority students continue to be disproportionately recommended for special education services in the United States.

This problem impacts Black and…

Higher education institutions position education abroad as an effective way to engage students internationally and develop critical intercultural competency skills. Education abroad also represents a major portion of campus internationalization at higher education institutions, globally. An ever-increasing understanding of how students engage in…

The long-standing problem of underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in leadership roles in higher education can have detrimental consequences, such as limiting minority voices, marginalizing minority contributions, and impeding success within academe. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore how indigenous Samoan…

Biological psychiatry, like many other scientific fields, is grappling with the challenge of revising its practices with an eye towards promoting diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI). One arena in which much of this work will have significant impact is in developmental science generally, and the study of adolescence specifically. Adolescence…

Addressing the limited up-to-date evidence on the relationship between the academic success of African American and Latinx students and the diversity of the educators is important since the insights could provide guidelines to educational leaders on the interventions that can be taken to reduce the widening achievement gap. This study addressed…

Amid ethnic/racial stratification and oppression, parents' engagement in ethnic/racial socialization (ERS) practices foster resilience and positive outcomes in youth. Research has found inconsistent effects of ERS practices on adolescent academic outcomes and has neglected the intersectionality of race/ethnicity and gender. Using an intersectional…

School discipline disproportionality has long been documented in educational research, primarily impacting Black/African American and non-White Hispanic/Latinx students. In response, federal policymakers have encouraged educators to change their disciplinary practice, emphasizing that more proactive support is critical to promoting students'…

The international "FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL): Challenge" is a popular educational robotics and STEM competition designed to promote primary and early high school students' STEM interests and careers, and twenty-first century skill development. The "FLL Challenge" currently involves over 318,000 students (aged 9-16 years) in…

In this dissertation, I build on scholarship on antiracist, culturally sustaining, translingual and ecological theories in composition studies to argue that equitable, accessible pedagogies affirm students' role as co-creators in producing knowledge alongside their peers and instructors and that antiracist ecological frameworks can aid writing…

As many of you have been doing over the last two years, I have been giving a lot of thought to the state of international education as we rebuild and reimagine it. My focus is on rebuilding and reimagining international education for the world we want to live in. I believe that historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) offer important…

Urban Indigenous students' school attendance and factors contributing to annual attendance rates are relatively unknown, and yet almost 80% of the Indigenous population resides in non-remote regions. Our longitudinal study evaluated an urban primary school where Indigenous families preferentially enrolled their children because they recognised it…

Case study methods were used to examine the implementation and process used to recruit STEM majors of color into teaching. This article describes a one-year pilot designed to recruit biology majors into teaching. Analyses of the meeting minutes, as well as focus group, and field notes, and participants' reflections revealed that mentorship was an…

This article examines the implications of teaching Asian American literature and American multiculturalism in Singapore. Using the multicultural and multilingual city-state of Singapore as a case study, I share the challenges and difficulties I experienced as an international teacher in my attempt to translate U.S. ethnic studies into a…

The Roma are the largest and, some scholars would argue, the most marginalized group in Europe, an observation evident in an examination of school texts for Polish children. Using the concept of the "geographies of silence," we discuss the nature of text and graphical silences and the reasons behind the paucity of text, photo, and map…

Through a critical spatial lens, we explored how nonbinary and agender students navigate the space of a college campus. Using narrative inquiry, we considered nonbinary and agender students' navigation in multiple ways--both as the literal navigation of physical place and as an always-in-process becoming with and in the place of higher education.…
