Artists As Catalysts: The Ethical And Political Possibilities Of Teaching Artists In Literacy Classrooms, Anne Crampton, Cynthia Lewis
Artists As Catalysts: The Ethical And Political Possibilities Of Teaching Artists In Literacy Classrooms, Anne Crampton, Cynthia Lewis
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Purpose This study aims to discuss the ethical and political possibilities offered by the presence of teaching artists (TAs) and visual artwork in racially and culturally diverse high school literacy (English Language Arts) classrooms. Design/methodology/approach This study explores episodes from two separate ethnographic studies that were conducted in one teacher’s critical literacy classroom across a span of several years. This study uses a transliteracies approach (Stornaiulo et al., 2017) to think about “meaning-making at the intersection of human subjects and materials” (Kontovourki et al., 2019); the study also draws on critical scholarship on art and making (Ngo et al., 2017; …
Managing The Disconnect: A Critical Case Study Of Neoliberalism In Youth Development Practice, Brett Russell Coleman
Managing The Disconnect: A Critical Case Study Of Neoliberalism In Youth Development Practice, Brett Russell Coleman
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Aims This critical ethnography interrogates the influence of neoliberalism on youth development practice as instituted by the evidence-based practice and positive youth development movements. Methods I employed participant observation and grounded theory analyses in my role as facilitator of a youth participatory action research program in the context of violence prevention work at a large urban youth development agency. Results The disconnect between professionalized youth development and the lived experience of youth manifested in organizational policies and practices and meant that the agency had to balance competing interests and worldviews, reconcile the need for funding with social justice aims, and …
Interrogating Whiteness In Community Research And Action, Brett Russell Coleman, Charles R. Collins, Courtnay M. Bonam
Interrogating Whiteness In Community Research And Action, Brett Russell Coleman, Charles R. Collins, Courtnay M. Bonam
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Community psychology is expressly concerned with social justice. Such concern necessitates attention to race. Yet, nearly absent from the field’s literature is explicit and critical attention to whiteness. Thus, community psychology’s contribution to promoting social justice remains incomplete. In this article, we examine how a critical construction of whiteness can be useful for community research and action. After a brief history of the construction of whiteness in the United States, and a summary of key insights from critical whiteness studies, we present a scoping review of the nascent body of community psychology literature that addresses whiteness. That work implicates whiteness …

Research Brief: Land Education Teacher Professional Development, Dolores Calderón, Anna Lees, Cynthia Wilson, Renée Swan Waite
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In Washington State, Senate Bill 5028 (2018) mandates the teaching of tribal sovereignty curriculum k-12 (STI) and integration of “Native American curriculum developed by the office of the superintendent of public instruction into existing Pacific Northwest history and government requirements” of existing teacher preparation programs. To do this work well, teacher educators in universities and communities must partner to prepare teacher candidates and in-service teachers to implement the curriculum within the context and goals of tribal nations. However, research finds that this work requires white teachers to confront their own biases that prevent them from being in true partnership with …

Authorship And Partnerships In Health Promotion Research: Issues Of Erasure, Ownership And Inequity In Knowledge Production, Oliver Mweemba, Tulani Francis L Matenga, J Hope Corbin
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Earlier this year, the authors of this editorial submitted a paper to a major international health promotion conference and, after peer review, were accepted and invited to present. The presentation was titled ‘North-South Health Research Partnerships in an Unequal World’ and it presented findings from a qualitative study exploring the experiences of local health research stakeholders in Zambia with international health research collaborations. Because of funding constraints, Corbin (the one Northern partner from a high-income country) was the only author who was able to travel to attend the conference and present on behalf of the team. Because of revenue problems …
Ignoring History, Denying Racism: Mounting Evidence For The Marley Hypothesis And Epistemologies Of Ignorance, Courtney M. Bonam, Vinoadharen Nair Das, Brett R. Coleman Western Washington University, Phia Salter
Ignoring History, Denying Racism: Mounting Evidence For The Marley Hypothesis And Epistemologies Of Ignorance, Courtney M. Bonam, Vinoadharen Nair Das, Brett R. Coleman Western Washington University, Phia Salter
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In demonstration of the Marley hypothesis, Nelson, Adams, and Salter showed that differences in critical historical knowledge (i.e., knowledge of past racism) and motivation to protect group esteem predicted present-day racism perceptions among Whites and Blacks attending different, racially homogenous universities. The present Study 1 conceptually replicates these findings among Whites and Blacks attending the same racially diverse university. Consistent with previous findings, Whites (vs. Blacks) displayed less critical historical knowledge, explaining their greater denial of systemic racism. Moreover, stronger racial identity among Whites predicted greater systemic racism denial. A brief Study 2 intervention boosts Whites’ racism perceptions. People who …
Fugitive Teacher Education: Nurturing Pedagogical Possibilities In Early Childhood Education, Anna Lees, Verónica N. Vélez
Fugitive Teacher Education: Nurturing Pedagogical Possibilities In Early Childhood Education, Anna Lees, Verónica N. Vélez
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
This article argues for the necessity of fugitivity in teacher education to interrupt and subvert the current regime of standardization in public education. Centering the voices of teachers and teacher candidates, this qualitative case study explores the importance of unsanctioned spaces for destabilizing co-optations of multiculturalism and social justice in teacher education. Findings suggest conceptual and practical possibilities for developing critical curricula and pedagogies in early childhood teacher education that work towards a postcolonial state.
Reading With And Against In The Times Of Trump, Tracey Pyscher
Reading With And Against In The Times Of Trump, Tracey Pyscher
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In this article, I wonder on how to differently teach in the times of Trump where the old masks of domination (e.g., racism, sexism, homophobia) are made more explicit while also critically bearing in mind how other larger discourses like neoliberalism shapes our responses to the fascist leanings embodied in Trumpism. I explore how the backdrop of US cultural politics and white supremacy is also shaped by a new form of neoliberal multiculturalism that is meant to further divide collective efforts on the parts of racialized and classed marginalized communities. I close by offering concrete pedagogical strategies so to challenge …
The Experiences Of Faculty Of Color At Western Washington University, Raine Dozier
The Experiences Of Faculty Of Color At Western Washington University, Raine Dozier
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The purpose of this project was to better understand the experience of racial and ethnic minority faculty at Western Washington University and to develop recommendations to improve the climate for faculty of color. This report was derived from interviews with 25 tenured and tenure-track faculty of color conducted in the spring of 2014. Approximately two thirds of faculty reported few or no negative incidents related to their race or ethnicity. The remaining third reported numerous incidents of prejudice and discrimination. Generally, participants did not believe these incidents threatened employment but, instead, were experienced as ongoing microaggressions1 that questioned faculty competence, …
Photovoice As Micro-Invitation: A Case Study Of High School Im/Migrant Youth Disrupting Everyday Forms Of Racism, Kevin Roxas, Verónica Vélez
Photovoice As Micro-Invitation: A Case Study Of High School Im/Migrant Youth Disrupting Everyday Forms Of Racism, Kevin Roxas, Verónica Vélez
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Racial microaggressions describe how People of Color experience daily racial assaults in seemingly minor, but nonetheless insidious ways. The photovoice project highlighted here demonstrates the varied ways in which im/migrant high school students in one community challenged everyday microaggressions by making clear how they wanted fellow students, teachers, and other members of society to acknowledge, respond, and interrupt racist discourses. We introduce the concept of micro-invitations to describe strategic efforts to build collective forms of resistance. We argue that micro-invitations, as a both a theoretical and pedagogical intervention, helps us better understand how marginalized youth, in this case im/migrant youth, …

Alaska Native Scholars: A Mixed Methods Investigation Of Factors Influencing Phd Attainment, Alberta J. Jones
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
This study entitled, "Alaska Native Scholars: A Mixed Methods Investigation of Factors Influencing PhD Attainment," investigates the contributing factors influencing the attainment of PhD degrees by Alaska Natives. Originating from a cross-section of rural and urban Alaska communities and tribal ethnicities, this group of scholars attended graduate schools throughout the country. Today many of these PhDs work in universities, conduct research, and advocate for Indigenous people in various leadership roles, both in and outside of Alaska. This study's assumption is these PhD graduates have gained valuable lessons along their path to success and an examination of these factors is relevant …

Health Promotion And #Metoo: Meeting Men Where They Are, J. Hope Corbin
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The past year has provided a period of awakening. The awakening of masses of people to the pervasive experience of gender-based harassment and violence perpetrated by men and most profoundly impacting the world’s women and girls. (Gender-based harassment and violence also impacts trans individuals, non-binary identifying folks and men (Zacharias, 2018). This commentary focuses mainly on the #MeToo movement’s impact on our understanding of gender-based harassment and violence against people who identify as women.)
Critical Literacy In Elementary Social Studies: Juxtaposing Historical Master And Counter Narratives In Picture Books, Sara B. Demoiny, Jessica Ferraras-Stone
Critical Literacy In Elementary Social Studies: Juxtaposing Historical Master And Counter Narratives In Picture Books, Sara B. Demoiny, Jessica Ferraras-Stone
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In this article the authors demonstrate how pairing master and counter narrative picture books, along with critical literacy practices, can be used to enhance the social studies curriculum outlined by state standards taught in today's elementary schools. These intentional book pairings allow students to grapple with what history truly means and to question how history is told. To facilitate an understanding of how such lessons could take place, a model lesson plan and a description of paired picture books that lend themselves to critical literacy lessons and that represent commonly taught elementary social studies content are provided. A list of …

Contemplating And Extending The Scholarship On Children’S And Young Adult Literature, Wanda Brooks, Desiree Cueto
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Journal of Literacy Research, this article reviews the trajectory of a particular line of scholarship published in this journal over the past five decades. We focus on African diaspora youth literature to contemplate and extend the ways in which literacy researchers carry out textual analysis research of diverse children’s and young adult literature. We situate this line of scholarship (and its trajectory) within the broader literacy field and then narrow to a focus on diverse books. Next, to turn our gaze as literacy researchers forward to the future, we present our own critical …

The Legacy And Trajectories Of Multicultural Education: Recognition, Refusal, And Movement Building In Trouble Times, Francisco Rios
The Legacy And Trajectories Of Multicultural Education: Recognition, Refusal, And Movement Building In Trouble Times, Francisco Rios
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In this conceptual analysis paper, I provide a brief overview of multicultural education and highlight the critiques to the field that demonstrate challenges to implementing an education that is multicultural especially when considering students from minoritized and global majority backgrounds. Next, I explore the changing political and social context that suggests, among other things, the need for re/newed orientations to multicultural education. I focus on two important scholarly lines of inquiry – Decolonization and Antiblack theorizing – that might inform possible trajectories for multicultural education including a pedagogy of recognition and a pedagogy of refusal. I conclude by identifying questions …

The 2018 CHA contains the most recent health data and information to provide an understanding of our county’s health status. In this update, we have expanded the CHA to include community-specific health status information as well as countywide health information. The CHA is organized using a population health framework that looks at the physical environment, social and economic factors, health behaviors, access to quality healthcare, and health outcomes. The report presents a general picture of the health of our community, in which health outcomes and disparities are the results of complex interactions between health determinants. This assessment reflects a two-year …
Social Competence In Urban Alternative Schools, Aaron B. Perzigian
Social Competence In Urban Alternative Schools, Aaron B. Perzigian
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
This exploratory grounded theory study examined teacher perspectives of social competence in urban alternative high schools. Research questions elicited teachers’ conceptualizations of social competence and descriptions of how their views on students’ social-emotional behaviors influence pedagogy. The specific school context was behavior-focused alternative schools, which serve a disproportionate number of Black students and students with disabilities. Findings indicated urban alternative high school teachers highly value and prioritize within their classrooms the learning and application of specific social competencies perceived to influence post-high school employability. Implications are discussed.
Female Masculinity At Work: Managing Stigma On The Job, Raine Dozier
Female Masculinity At Work: Managing Stigma On The Job, Raine Dozier
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In this study, the author interviewed 49 self-identified masculine women in the United States to examine how they negotiate stigma in the workplace. Masculine women often negotiate dual stigmas due to both their gender nonconformity and perceived sexual orientation. Participants used a variety of strategies to cope with their stigmatized identity including modifying clothing; incorporating feminine behaviors to counteract masculine appearance; working in high-demand, undesirable jobs; working in male-dominated settings; and opting out of formal work organizations. While some participants experienced mistreatment in male-dominated settings, many reported positive outcomes including strong relationships with male coworkers, opportunities for advancement, and a …
Domestic Violence And Girlhood: The Making And Breaking Of A Disordered Subjectivity, Tracey Pyscher
Domestic Violence And Girlhood: The Making And Breaking Of A Disordered Subjectivity, Tracey Pyscher
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
This article examines the resistive actions and discourses that shape and reshape the hegemonic and resistant interplay between female youth with histories of domestic violence (HDVs) and educators. Taken out of a larger critical ethnographic study, discussion demonstrates how one urban middle school girl with an HDV is positioned as an object of “emotional and behavioral disorder” and how she responded to violating pedagogies through performances of cultural resistance built out of her social experience of domestic violence. The article draws upon theoretical and methodological insights, including Butler’s notion of performativity, Scott’s theory of resistance, Hill-Collins’s standpoint theory, as well …

Use Of Legally Compliant Ieps For Inclusive Programming, Keith J. Hyatt, Aaron B. Perzigian
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The purpose of this article is to review major components of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) from the perspective that the IEP process serves to facilitate inclusive opportunities for students with disabilities. The IEP is a legally binding contractual agreement between a school district and a family, thus it is imperative for the process to be procedurally compliant and completed in a substantively meaningful manner consistent with the six key foundational principles of special education law (Turnbull, Stowe, & Huerta, 2007). An IEP is one of the foundational principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004, …

Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Urban school districts are comprised of many diverse high school environments including comprehensive neighborhood schools as well as a variety of smaller alternative models that focus on innovative practices, behavior remediation, or academic recovery. In terms of enrollment distribution, urban school districts are increasingly offering nontraditional school placement options for students presenting academic and behavioral difficulty or for students seeking specific curricular emphasis or pedagogy, including—but not limited to—use of school choice voucher programs. In this study, we examined student distribution across school types in one large urban district to investigate enrollment patterns with regard to gender, race, socioeconomic status, …

Throwaway Youth: The Sociocultural Location Of Resistance To Schooling, Tracey Pyscher, Brian D. Lozenski
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
This article illuminates the ways in which resistant youth challenge attempts toward cultural homogenization within public school systems. We trace how youth from historical and lived traumatic experiences such as African American, Native American, and youth with histories of domestic violence, navigate the dominant narrative of pity and punishment in public schools. We argue that these resistive youth have been tagged with constructed identities as "broken youth." The article situates the practice of school discipline in terms of traditional and neoliberal agendas that seek to throw away noncompliant students and label them as deviant and/or disordered. Drawing from Bauman's (2009) …
