This study sought to understand individualized information literacy instruction for first-year students of color in higher education, and the impact of that instruction on student performance and confidence levels. The study was conducted at a four-year doctoral granting higher education institution and was designed as a QUAL+quan convergent…

In response to developing technology standards and innovative technology applications, it is important to measure the knowledge of education standards and practice of teachers. This study includes 226 prekindergarten to fifth grade Latine teachers employed in a Latine-serving school district in a United States/Mexico border community. Survey data…

This article confronts tensions of "risk" and "change" in youth engagement and community arts, towards insights for alternate world-building. We problematize overly instrumental approaches, by examining aesthetic and inductive theories of change arising from "Making With Place," a research creation initiative based in…

This article examines how Chinese international students perceive the racial identity of Asian Americans and how they position this pan-national, pan-ethnic, phenotypical-based group in relation to other oppressed minorities. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks of the world racial system and racial triangulation, this article argues that Chinese…

High-impact practices (HIPs), such as undergraduate research, first-year seminars, and learning communities, have been shown to generally advance college student success. However, there are often disparities in access, participation, and outcomes between white and racially/ethnically minoritized students. While scholars have critiqued HIPs and…

Introduction: The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews rigorous research on educational interventions with a goal of identifying "what works" and making that information accessible to educators and policymakers. The WWC has historically prioritized internal validity over external validity in rating the quality of research. One critique…

Fries-Britt et al.'s (2014) Learning Race in a U.S. Context (LRUSC) emergent framework holds significant prominence in international student literature as the pioneering framework to theorize perceptions of race and responses to racialized experiences among college students of color born and raised outside of the US. This essay reviewed 11…

The benefits of student-teacher ethnoracial matching on student outcomes--ranging from academic achievement to postsecondary attainment--are well documented. Yet, we know far less about the role of student-teacher ethnoracial matching in the earliest grades school and on less about effects on non-academic outcomes. The purpose of this study is to…

This paper aims to draw lessons from existing research on school leader diversity, and to supplement that evidence with new insights from the lived experiences of teachers, aspiring and practicing school leaders of color, and local and state administrators who oversee school leader recruitment and support. These perspectives are elevated to bring…

The purpose of this study was to use structural equation modeling to examine how the experience of racialized aggressions on social media influenced the perceptions of campus racial climate for undergraduate students of color (n = 771).

Teen-centric programs have proliferated in art museums across the U.S. and much of Europe, and scores of these programs target young people--and youth of color, specifically--as a way to grow museum audiences and relevance to a diverse public. However, few studies examine how teen-centric programs impact the youth involved and how they make sense…

This commentary urges researchers and readers to rethink definitions of adulthood and its relevance in literacy research by arguing that adult readers are distinct from children and even college students. More specifically, it argues that adult literacy learners (those reading at the 8th-grade level equivalent or below and those who did not…

Issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect have a history at colleges and universities in the United States. Over 40 years ago, to address these issues at a large public university, the authors created a "tutorial program" (equivalent to a parallel educational system) that enabled a diverse cohort of students to succeed in their…

The following methodological research article offers a case for using narrative inquiry to understand qualitatively the experiences of historically minoritized (HM) graduate students in chemistry. The research article utilizes empirical data aimed at understanding how a chemistry graduate program professionally develops graduate students into…
