Advocating for Multicultural Education and Social Justice in the Age of Economic Uncertainty
In light of California's economic crisis and the reduction of revenue within the state university system, a college-wide process was undertaken to streamline resources, to reduce expenditures, and to “efficiently use” current human capital in the College of Education (COE).

Seeking Emancipation from Gender Regulation
Using the work of Judith Butler on gender regulation, Black Feminist Thought (BFT), and autobiographic storytelling, this piece illustrates how essentialist notions of gender, and discourses related to gender create conflict in shaping identity construction for a Black woman academic and single mother (BWA/SM) in the United States.

This interpretative and reflective piece focuses on classism, pedagogy, and policy, and highlights reactions from the authors’ experiences when t…

This work contributes to larger…
Color Marks the Site/Sight of Social Difference
Though racism in the form of blatant de facto and de jure policies and domestic terrorism is no longer the law of the land as was the case before, and during the Civil Rights Movement, an intensified dysconscious and color-blind racism has propelled itself in the post-Civil Rights United States, particularly in this "Age of Obama"; one that manifests in semantically slippery and rhetorically convoluted discourses. Consequently to illuminate this …

Merging the social sciences and the humanities-blending narrative, radical performance text, and popular culture, the power of Spoken Word moves qualitative research methodologies forward to in…
