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

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 Jan 2019

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 Jan 2019

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 Jan 2019

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 Jan 2019

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, …
