Decolonial and Fugitive Literacies
Decolonial and fugitive literacies seek to resist the ways that language is used to stratify society and reify a long history of ethnoracial violence. Decolonial approaches to literacy work to transform the myriad ways that language has been used to effect the economic, cultural, and political subjugation of colonized people by European forces. Fugitive literacies are literacy practices that endure in the lives of Black and Brown people in ways t…
Youth Inquiry as Resistance
In spirit and in truth: (Re)searching Christianity and racial liberation in education
As educational justice scholarship addressing racial oppression continues to name the role of the spirit, there is a need for Black and Brown Christian educators and researchers to locate ourselves as grounded in the epistemologies and pedagogies of Christ as our spiritual home. This paper brings together eight Black and Brown Christian educators and researchers to grapple with what it means to be Christians committed to racial justice in educati…
When We See Us: An Endarkened Autoethnographic Approach to Excavating the Extraordinary Literacies of Black Women
A frequent question amongst Black scholars and practitioners is how to succeed in institutions that thrive on our cultural erasure. How to unmask and survive. For Black women these questions are doubly significant. The questions we answer in our collaborative Blackgirl autoethnography have implications for how Black women scholars, and others navigating multiple social oppressions, must ritually turn inward to understand the rhetorical, spiritual…

This article highlights applications of civic reas…

Postscript: Visions of Love in Urban Schooling, or A Love Letter from the Editors
An Anticolonial Framework for Urban Teacher Preparation
Our contemporary apprenticeship model of teacher education often places preservice teachers in learning environments where they never witness the types of dynamic and engaged practice they desire to emulate. Either there are structural limits within the classroom placed by school or district leadership or there are preselected veteran mentor teachers who do not value the same kinds of critical practice. These challenges necessitate a radical reth…
Collaborative inquiry: Youth, social action, and critical qualitative research
Youth participatory action research is part of a revolutionary effort in educational research to take inquiry-based knowledge production out of the sole purview of academic institutions and include those who most directly experience the educational contexts that scholars endeavor to understand. Seeking to extend the robust legacy of participatory action research in schools and communities, in this article, we focus on the pedagogical contribution…

In contrast, participatory action research (PAR) projects are collective investigations that rely on indigenous knowledge, combined with the desire to take individual and/or collective action. PAR with youth (YPAR) engages in rigorous research inquiries an…
