Historical and New Outlooks on Urban Education: Introduction to the Special Issue
Thriving Against the Odds: An Examination of Protective Factors to Support African Americans in Counselor Education
African American counselor educators remain underrepresented in CACREP-accredited programs. Prior research highlights unsupportive, unwelcoming, and racist environments within counselor education programs for students and faculty. Reported conditions may contribute to the limited number of African American doctoral graduates entering faculty roles; however, the lack of matriculation warrants further exploration. This phenomenological study explor…
Using homeplace to guide STEM identity development in Black males
Black males continue to be underrepresented in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Some of the barriers to representation are due to lack of exposure, academic expectations, lack of belief in one's ability, and opportunity gaps. The purpose of this article is to discuss how homeplace (Black joy, authenticity, and freedom dreaming) can be cultivated by educators and practitioners in both K-12 and higher education. We a…
Challenges Experienced by Latina Multilingual Learners in STEM Undergraduate Programs: Framed within LatCrit and Intersectionality
Guided by a combination of LatCrit and intersectionality this study examined the challenges Latina Multilingual Learners' (ML) experienced in STEM and how their multiple marginalized identities (i.e. being Latina, female, and non-native English-speaker) and the oppression related to class, gender, race, and ethnicity influence their perspectives. Using an interpretive phenomenological design, we interviewed 10 Latina ML students from four univers…
Understanding the Black male experience: Recommendations for clinical, community, and school settings
The characterizations of Blackness and maleness are stark and pervasive throughout the theoretical and scientific literature. Too often, Black males occupy a vicarious and distinctive position in American society. The depictions of Black males are rarely casted in a positive manner. Instead, an overpowering image of incompetence, unintelligence, complacency, and propensity to result to violence consumes the livelihood of Black males in the United…
Inequitable representation of Black boys in gifted and talented education, Advanced Placement, and special education
Black boys are overrepresented in special education (SPED) and underrepresented in gifted and talented education, Advanced Placement, and other opportunities for advanced learners. Conversely, they are overrepresented in SPED. In this article, we address the vicious cycle of deficit thinking and intelligence test inequities-the consequences and impact on Black males. The impact of high-stakes testing and racial prejudice and discrimination is sta…
It’s a Vibe: Understanding the graduate school experiences of Black male engineering faculty
Purpose In spite of ongoing and recent initiatives aimed at broadening participation in engineering, the representation of diverse groups of learners in engineering graduate programs in the USA remains a challenge. Foregrounding the voices of 26 Black male engineering faculty, this study aims to investigate how institutions might recruit and retain more Black men in engineering graduate programs. Design/methodology/approach For this study, induct…
All eyez on me: Disproportionality, disciplined, and disregarded while Black
In this article, we present an extensive overview of inequities in three areas of education: (1) gifted and talented education; (2) accelerated coursework; (3) and discipline. Intersectionality undergirds our focus on these three areas as they go together to paint a disturbing picture of the experiences of Black children in P-12 schools, as well as institutions of higher education. In addition to laying out the culturally assaultive problems, we …

The authors highlight t…

Overcoming the odds: First-generation black and Latino male collegians’ perspectives on pre-college barriers and facilitators
Purpose Black and Latino males face challenges to college-going that may alter their decision to attend college. However, many Black and Latino males have successfully enrolled and matriculated through college. This study aims to explore the precollege factors that influenced the college enrollment and persistence for first generation Black and Latino male collegians ( N = 5) at a predominantly white institution located in the Northeastern area o…
It takes fire to make steel”: Stories of two African American males finding purpose through their college experiences
