Preserving Social Justice Identities: Learning From One Pre-Service Literacy Teacher, Anne Swenson Ticknor
Preserving Social Justice Identities: Learning From One Pre-Service Literacy Teacher, Anne Swenson Ticknor
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Identities that include social justice stances are important for pre-service teachers to adopt in teacher education so they may meet the needs of all future students. However maintaining a social justice identity can be difficult when pre-service teachers are confronted with an evaluator without a social justice stance. This article examines how one pre-service teacher preserved a social justice identity by actively resisting racial and cultural stereotypes of students in her student teaching field experience. Analysis of language data illustrates that pre-service teachers can enact social justice pedagogy in elementary classrooms and preserve a social justice identity. This report reveals …
Critical Discomfort And Deep Engagement Needed For Transformation. A Response To "Respect Differences? Challenging The Common Guidelines In Social Justice Education", Rick Ayers
Democracy and Education
This essay seeks to engage the discussion about how to successfully conduct social justice and critical pedagogy classes for teacher candidates. Because the identity and consciousness of teachers is such a crucial factor in equity education, teacher-educators seek to challenge and transform hegemonic assumptions. The essay seeks to engage some of the main points of Sensoy and DiAngelo and to extend the conversation to other considerations and issues that arise in the work to develop educators committed to equity and justice.
Gender Equality In Primary Schools In Sub-Saharan Africa: Review And Analysis, Robert Osadan, Irish A. Burrage
Gender Equality In Primary Schools In Sub-Saharan Africa: Review And Analysis, Robert Osadan, Irish A. Burrage
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
Developing countries like those in Africa’s Sub-Saharan region struggle with gender inequality issues in primary schools, an impediment that keeps these countries from progressing economically as well as socially. Despite the struggle, international awareness coupled with continuous initiatives of various international groups like United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative, UNESCO’s Education for All, plus other government organizations, find concrete ways to permanently and effectively address gender disparity in education.

The Profession Feminism Left Behind: Heterosexism In Schooling And The Teaching Profession, Cynthia J. Benton
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
The interrelationship of a number of factors-‐teacher dispositions and identity, student socialization, the school environment, and the content of the curriculum-‐are examined in this conceptual study of heterosexism in U. S. schooling. Contemporary curricular and social programs which mitigate against heterosexist assumptions are discussed.

Transformational Learning: Influence Of A Sexism And Heterosexism Course On Student Attitudes And Thought Development, Judy Ouellette
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies

Students completed measures of social dominance, attitudes toward homosexuals and obese persons, and modern sexism. Compared to controls the experimental group had less negative attitudes post course.
Of Studbroads And Strap-Ons: The Conflation Of Gender And Sexual Orientation By Female Prisoners In Texas As A Discipline Of Heteropatriarchal Normality, Cathy Marston
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
The author reports on her experiences in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), realizing that prisoners conflate and confuse gender and sexual orientation. I see this as problematic and argue that it constitutes what French social theorist Michel Foucault (1995) would call a “discipline of normality” inflicted by the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC).

Globetrotting Queerness: Patricia Powell’S The Pagoda, Minjeong Kim
Globetrotting Queerness: Patricia Powell’S The Pagoda, Minjeong Kim
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
In this essay, I offer a queer, postcolonial reading of Patricia Powell’s 1998 novel The Pagoda, focusing on the limits of home as conceptualized within national and heterosexual boundaries. The novel’s protagonist Lowe does his best to assimilate to post-‐emancipation Jamaican society. However, Lowe’s effort for assimilation paradoxically precipitates his exile from home.
Contesting Heteronormality: Recasting Same-Sex Desire In China’S Past And Present, Tiantian Zheng
Contesting Heteronormality: Recasting Same-Sex Desire In China’S Past And Present, Tiantian Zheng
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
This paper chronicles changing meanings of homoerotic romance in the cultural history of same‐sex desires in China, and argues that recasting the past and linking the past to the present can enrich our understanding of the present and contest the current discourse of heteronormality.
Queer(Y)Ing Permanent Partnership, Alix L. Olson
Queer(Y)Ing Permanent Partnership, Alix L. Olson
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
Analyzing discourses surrounding a recent LGBT immigration reform proposal, this paper argues that the current trajectory of homonational forms of citizenship is ultimately an “alienating production.” It is by critically assessing the casualties wrought by these kinds of assimilationist strategies, the author suggests, that we might look instead toward alternative conceptions of citizenship altogether.
Encountering Metronormativity: Geographies Of Queer Visibility In Central New York, Sean H. Wang
Encountering Metronormativity: Geographies Of Queer Visibility In Central New York, Sean H. Wang
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
This article uses metronormativity to discuss queer visibility and political organizing in central New York. It critically reviews the geography of sexuality literature and – through a vignette – illustrates how metronormative politics impacts service providers. It ends by suggesting that the Marxist concept of ordinary may offer an alternative to metronormativity.

Human Rights And History Education: An Australian Study, Nina Burridge, John Buchanan, Andrew Chodkiewicz
Human Rights And History Education: An Australian Study, Nina Burridge, John Buchanan, Andrew Chodkiewicz
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The place of education for and about human rights within the school curriculum remains contested and this paper reports on the first national cross-sectoral investigation of its place in Australian curricula and more specifically in national and state History curriculum documents. Opportunities for the inclusion of human rights based studies were examined across school learning stages, taking into account explicit and implicit, compulsory or elective, as well as curricular and extra-curricular dimensions. Given the continued importance of History as a learning area there is a need to strengthen the available explicit and mandatory opportunities for students to learn about human …

Neoliberalism And Public University Agendas: Tensions Along The Global/Local Divide, Peter Wanyenya, Donna Lester-Smith
Neoliberalism And Public University Agendas: Tensions Along The Global/Local Divide, Peter Wanyenya, Donna Lester-Smith
Journal of Feminist Scholarship
Over the last decade, internationalization efforts have accelerated at leading postsecondary institutions in North America and elsewhere, with universities now aggressively competing for the most talented students worldwide. With the focus on recruiting international students, one of the major attendant objectives has seemingly been a social-justice-oriented agenda on tackling pressing global issues; the local has indeed become the global. However, not everyone is ostensibly benefiting from this new global focus. For some, their local issues and conditions are increasingly precarious and nonprioritized in institutional and broadening neoliberal governmental agendas. In the Canadian context, various Indigenous and low-income racialized communities, youth …
