The Educator–Counselor School Counseling Supervision Model
Given their distinct educator–counselor (EC) identity and the persistent issues of role ambiguity, conflict, and confusion among school counselors, there is a need for supervisory strategies employed during preparatory training that emphasize the integration of this nondual, nonhierarchical identity. Since their graduate coursework and university supervision are often provided by those from clinical mental health backgrounds, field placement supe…
That's Real Stuff Though”: Understanding Drill Music as Dialogic Expression for Black Youth

In response to ongoing public critiques that frame drill music as inherently violent, this research centers a student-created drill song and interview to highlight how drill serves as a platform for communalism, emotional expression, and self-empowerment. Grounded in trap critical theory, the study positions drill music as a mechanism for Blac…
“Now We’re All Family”: Exploring Social and Emotional Development in a Summer Hip Hop Mixtape Camp
Personal and environmental change: A Hip Hop school counseling intervention
Scholars criticize the profession of school counseling for the delivery of inadequate school counseling services to Black and Brown youth. Within schools, particularly those populated by Black and Brown youth, exist environmental barriers to youths’ wellness and development including a shortage of mental health professionals (i.e., high student‐to‐counselor ratios) or oppressive school structures (i.e., deficit‐oriented curriculum and discipline …
The intersection of hip hop and Youth Participatory Action Research (Ypar) in school counseling to create and sustain homeplace

This article highlights how hip hop culture and Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) led by school counselors can be used as a homeplace in schools, a space where students can speak on their experiences with issues in schools in a way they value most. This article details 2 ways hip hop and YPAR …
Processing a White Supremacist Insurrection Through Hip-Hop Mixtape Making: A School Counseling Intervention

The student participated in the CCMC intervention amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing Black Lives Movement, and crucially the white supre…
Youth-led participatory action research in school counseling as a vehicle for antiracist SEL
As youth in the United States continue to become diverse, it is important for the practices educators adopt to be inclusive and antiracist. Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is a pedagogy that aligns with the social emotional learning competencies and the tenets of antiracist education. We propose that school counselors are best positioned to support efforts to implement YPAR in schools. The following article provides 2 case examples of …
On Science Genius and Cultural Agnosia: Reality Pedagogy and/as Hip-Hop Rooted Cultural Teaching in STEM Education
This paper offers a theoretical and practical approach to teaching and learning in STEM education. We uncover the deficits in existing STEM pedagogies while outlining a culturally relevant/responsive model that reveals the science genius of youth who are marginalized in contemporary STEM classrooms. Through an analysis of the concept cultural agnosia, we suggest hip-hop as treatment of the condition and an approach for a more culturally rich appr…
Hip-Hop Can Heal: Addressing Mental Health through Hip-Hop in the Urban Classroom
Addressing students’ mental health needs has become a growing concern amongst educators and school leaders, as 25% of adolescents are known to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Moreover, students in urban contexts are more likely to experience mental health challenges as they face environmental stressors in their communities that stem from a long history of structural racism, institutional racism, and discriminatory practices. Research …
Exploring Youth Participatory Action Research in Urban Schools: Advancing Social Justice and Equity-Based Counseling Practices
Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is emerging as a group counseling practice that focuses on topics that are of personal interest to youth and aims to promote social change. Although YPAR has been found to facilitate critical consciousness, assist with youth self-identity development, and promote social change, few researchers have examined its application in counseling. The present study explored six school counselor trainees’ perceptio…
