Davis, Ashley – Journal of Social Work Education, 2019
Racism has a long history in the United States. For generations, people of color have been systematically oppressed, whereas White people have benefitted from unearned privilege.

Pamela VanHaitsma – College Composition and Communication, 2017
This essay advances same-sex romantic correspondence as a pre-Stonewall site of rhetoric's queer extra curriculum. Grounded in archival research on African American women Addie Brown and Rebecca Primus, I argue their epistolary exchange was animated by queer erotics that enabled their participation in self-education for racial uplift.

Neumann, David – Social Studies, 2018
Teachers often respond to the perils of teaching about religion by simply avoiding the subject. An investigation of secondary lesson plans on three prominent Martin Luther King, Jr. websites reveals little attention to the ideology of the civil rights movement, especially those touching on religious ideas.
