The photograph depicts a caged-in concrete walkway. Chain-link fences flank each of its sides. Some 12 feet upwards, they curve inwards towards each other and meet to form a ceiling, a gated canopy, entirely enclosing the pedestrians walking along its path. From the position and color of the sunlight shining on it, the picture was taken either early in the morning or late afternoon. The pedestrians

Urja and I walked out of the cafe. We had spent over an hour looking at her images, talking about them, and occasionally laughing. During that hour, I had been wrestling with questions: What is the purpose of a photovoice project? Are we expecting to be shown/see something? I asked Urja, so how do you feel about not having any prompts? She got into the car and put on her seat belt. “I don’t know, sometimes

In the spring of 2019, we had the opportunity to team teach a doctoral course on Visual Ethnography. Most of the students came to the class because they were either intrigued by the concept of visual data, or the course just fit best with their schedules that semester. In short, we were working with graduate students who were a relatively blank slate when it came to visual research and visual methodologies

It is natural that the use of visual methods in education be concerned with the consent of adults, as the many students are under the age of majority, and as such require the consent of their adult caregivers. What does this consent and integration of consent look like when considering visual methods with young adults? By opening up ownership of a research project from its germination, this alters

I am worried about the next week. It brings memories of feeling guilty when hearing about the bombing of the Pearl Harbor and seeing my classmates stare at me because I was the only Japanese girl in the room. Though I obviously did not play a role in that horrific event, I still felt a sense of guilt because I am proud of my heritage and where I come from. —Hanna Saito, a Japanese American preservice

The term “Asian American” is a complicated and contentious one. Encompassing over 30 different nationalities and ethnic groups and speaking hundreds of different languages, Asian Americans are often seen as a monolithic group despite their vast diversity. Goodwin (2010) talks about the “vertical” and “horizontal” diversity found within the group, acknowledging not just the linguistic, national origin

Upon arrival in the United States, international students not only encounter culture shock and complex linguistic barriers but also immediate transmutation into minorities. In a classroom setting, foreigners must confront continually evolving negotiations of competence, membership, and identity to validate their place in academic discourse. Pervading their efforts for validation, of course, are racialized

Despite the tremendous diversity of ethnicities, languages, religions, and cultures encapsulated within their pan-ethnic group, Asian Americans are commonly understood to be recent immigrants of East Asian descent who do not speak English (Lee & Ramakrishnan, 2019). While the greatest concentrations of Asian Americans are on the West Coast, the Midwest is the region with the second greatest growth

In early January, New Yorker magazine mistakenly tagged Priyanka Chopra in an Instagram photo of Padma Lakshmi. Chopra is a Bollywood-turnedHollywood actor married to musician Nick Jonas. Lakshmi is a chef and host of the cooking competition show, Top Chef. Both women are of South Asian-Indian descent. Lakshmi responded, “I know we all look alike but ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄. #desigirls” The Chopra/Lakshmi mix up

This academic year marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of a five-year (bachelors and masters) urban teacher education program at a small, state institution in the northeast. This program was founded on the principles of social justice and decolonization with and through critical scholars such as Freire (1996), Gorski and Swalwell (2015), Delpit (2006), Ladson-Billings (2014), and Paris

The structures and functions of time are fundamental to the workings of schools. In schools, temporal plotting abounds: our days are segmented into precise temporal blocks, our weeks into sequentially packaged curricular units, our months into fixed intervals of semestered assessment, and our years into age-based grading structures designed to quantify appropriate intellectual progress over the long

In an increasingly diverse U.S. society, schools maintain Eurocentrism and White supremacy through curriculum, failing to give marginalized populations (and students of color in particular) space t...

For too long, the justification for recruiting teachers of Color (TOCs) has been framed as a demographic and democratic imperative (Achinstein & Ogawa, 2012). As teacher educators of Color and former elementary and secondary (K-12) teachers, we (the authors) argue that the rationale for increasing TOCs moves beyond diversifying a workforce, but instead to disrupt racial, cultural, and linguistic inequity

This Special Issue gives voice to the collective, transformative work of teacher educators across 16 institutions in the U.S. and abroad to re-center teacher education practices around values of equity and racial justice. These teacher educators joined together in this work by participating in the 2018 Transformative Teacher Educator Fellowship (TTEF) program. The goal of TTEF is to foster collaboration

Teachers in the United States receive conflicting messages about who they can and should be in and outside of the classroom. Recently, Time Magazine portrayed teachers as gloomy and underpaid educators (Reilly, 2018), while movies, like Stand and Deliver (Musca & Men endez, 1988) and Freedom Writers (De Vito, Shamberg, Sher, & LaGravenese, 2007), depicted them as saviors for troubled youth and urban

Transformative teacher education: is there such a thing? Yes. For a week long, intensive summer experience and monthly follow-up sessions for a year, I had the opportunity to engage with like-minded educators from around the world. What made us like-minded? Each of us is committed to successfully educating and developing pathways of opportunity for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) learners

At the center of teacher education reform debates nationwide are concerns about how to prepare educators to address issues of educational inequity (Ayers, Quinn, & Stovall, 2009; Cochran-Smith et al., 2016; Gorlewski, 2017; Gorski, 2009; Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995; Leonardo, 2009; Milner, 2009; Paris & Alim, 2017). Yet, there is little consensus among teacher educators, school districts, community

In a cultural moment when professors experience a debilitating hesitancy about initiating difficult conversations with undergraduate students, and the imperative of trigger warnings sometimes outweighs our will to navigate controversial materials, the fate of “violent films,” as worthy of academic study, hangs precariously in the balance. Designing undergraduate film courses that are culturally and

“Youth” remains a symbolic source of investment in society at large: both perceived as a social problem in need of remediation, and seen as a potential source of social change, leading generational renewal. Contemporary youth culture literature is often still bifurcated between analyses of the ways that young people are disempowered by our contemporary neoliberal climate or celebrations of them as

The names all seem a bit mundane: Little Pete’s; The Big Apple; University City High School; Cup & Saucer; Variety Playhouse; Jamaica High School; Market Diner; Cats; and Key Elementary. To the unaffiliated, they might just sound like the everyday names of everyday institutions. Their evocations resonate with the quotidian rather than the spectacular. And, I believe, that is an important part of this

In a recent piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Rob Jenkins defines his relationship with his students: “I’m not your boss, your parent, or your BFF. I’m your professor.” His is a sentiment long echoed by teachers asserting their classroom authority and upholding the singular relationship of teacher and student over and against other ways of relating. As a teacher myself, I’m not sure how to

The purpose of this study was to provide new understanding of teachers’ and immigrant students’ collaboration and identity work in a school context. Linguistic discourse analysis of immigrant stude ...

Reflection is considered a dominant concept and fundamental competence in teacher education programs (Allas, Leijen, & Toom, 2017; Beauchamp, 2015; Beauchamp & Thomas, 2010; Cornish & Jenkins, 2012; Lane et al., 2014; Liu, 2015). Reflection is an educative form that encourages thinking and self-analysis, promotes an inquiry-based process, and enables problemsolving (Dewey, 1933). Developing reflection

On a recent research-related visit to Montreal to explore issues of gender in museums and art galleries, we took the opportunity to also visit the Barbie Expo, on permanent display at Les Cours Mont-Royal. As feminists, we hoped this public exhibition would highlight a particular (and critical) view of women and girls in our society, by tracing Barbie’s evolution as it has been related to societal

In recent years, there have been critiques that projects of decolonization are not always compatible to Freirean theory and critical pedagogy (e.g., Gaztambide-Fernandez 2012; Tuck and Yang 2012; Zembylas 2018). Although there is recognition that discourses of critical pedagogy and decolonizing pedagogy are variously entangled, some scholars find it problematic that these terms are sometimes used synonymously

Paulo Freire left behind a rich legacy that speaks passionately to the relationship of the body to humanizing praxis. This legacy encompasses a pedagogical perspective that focuses on the primacy of the body in the construction of critical knowledge. Freire’s ideas also point to the importance of the materiality of body to a pedagogical process informed by a humanizing ethos that supports reflection

On November 8, 2016 Donald Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States of America. People like myself on the left side of the political spectrum, were largely blindsided. Trump is a blowhard, a bully, a conman, a racist, misogynist and a xenophobe, and it seemed inconceivable that he would be elected. This isn’t to say that I thought someone who held discriminatory views of diverse peoples

A garden, a space opened, from a collaboration between the earth, the natural world, and humans’ bounding, enclosing, shaping of it provides us with a motif for the opening, and exploring the openings, of the research space and the research. It also presents itself as an organic metaphor for the cultivation of knowledge, its dehiscence and dissemination, and the liberatory hope of academic labor. The

First published in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was a landmark in the history of educational theory, method, and criticism. The book questioned the epistemological foundations of teaching and learning that dominated the social field of practice and its institutional structures. Paolo Freire enacted a radical opposition to the hegemony of what he called “banking education” and the transmission of

This essay relates our experience in a course that we have co-taught periodically called Honors Africans in Film. It is an upper-level, undergraduate course that engages honors students in watching and analyzing mainly Hollywood movies that are set in Africa. The challenge we present to our mostly U.S. American students is to examine both the representations depicted on film and to confront their own

In this article, we examine the potential in developing a model of curriculum design for Humanities/Liberal Arts courses in urban universities that focuses on cultural pluralism, community organizi...

In countries with all-volunteer force (AVF) militaries, most citizens do not learn about the military through first-hand experience. For instance, 90,000 people serve in the Canadian Armed Forces (Government of Canada n.d.) out of an adult working-age population (20–70 years old) of 23,202,523 people (StatsCan 2013), which comes to 0.39% of the population. In the United States, military members comprise

equations which bear no relation to the physical world we actually inhabit. As Naredo points out, most of these economists have chosen the second option— while often continuing to receive generous funding and rewards of various kinds from extra-academic sources closely tied to the worlds of business and finance. Examples such as this not only illustrate how the heteronomous influence of capital interferes

In his influential essay, “Resonance and Wonder”, Stephen Greenblatt (1991) points to two powerful forms of emotional response inspired by objects in museum exhibits: When objects reach into a vast network of relationships, evoking through their physical presence the historical circumstances that created and transported them through time, their viewers experience resonance. When objects are arresting

Since retiring, my father’s taken on the role of family archivist, desiring to leave a trace that endures, daily scanning negatives from my childhood and frequently sending them to me as crisp, digital images. As much as these pictures attract me, though, and lead me to ponder the relation between my past and present, and life itself as a series of chance events, in viewing them I also experience a

Contemporary cultural studies is engaged with the meanings people construct in their everyday lives, and how such meanings have significance. It explores how we understand our world, how we fit into our world, and, as a consequence, how others fit into our world (Couldry 2000; Morris 1998; Turner 2012). The major implication of this view is that the varied and subjective experiences of individuals’

Gamification, a strategy whereby video game logics are applied to real world tasks, is rapidly gaining traction in education discourses, policies, and practices. Gamification advocates are frequently and prominently declaring the practice “the future of education” or education for the 21st century (Deardorff 2015; Frith 2017; Oxford Analytica 2016). Others are more skeptical of the power and effectiveness
