Promoting ethnic–racial identity in schools: An integrative mixed-method meta-analysis
Secondary Chinese teachers’ barriers to developing critical consciousness in Mandarin Chinese dual language bilingual education classrooms
Community-based heritage language schools as transnational counterspaces for immigrant families
Teaching Multilingual Learners in Rural Communities: Negotiating Ethics of Teacher Identity
Immigration, economic, and demographic changes have brought about rich cultural and linguistic diversity in rural communities. With rural schools receiving increasing numbers of multilingual learners, providing equitable educational opportunities for multilingual learners in rural schools is a pressing issue facing educators and scholars today. However, there is limited research on how to best prepare teachers and educators to meet multilingual l…
Towards transnational solidarity: Transnational funds of knowledge as counterstory to epistemic injustice
The Voices of Transnational MotherScholars of Emergent Bilinguals
In this article, we—three Asian MotherScholars in the field of language and literacy education—conducted a collaborative self-study to examine how our individual and shared experiences as transnational mothers of emergent bilinguals have shaped our ways of promoting bilingualism and biliteracy. Our study drew on transnational feminist perspectives and used multimodal data and narratives shared in an online inquiry group. We highlighted ways we le…
Not for us: Chinese immigrant parents’ perspectives on Mandarin Chinese dual language bilingual education programs
Drawing on a raciolinguistic and AsianCrit lens, we analyze the voices of first-generation Chinese immigrant parents regarding their decisions on whether to enroll their children in Mandarin Chinese dual language bilingual education (DLBE) programs. Our findings reveal Chinese immigrant parents’ lack of confidence in DLBE programs as a space created for them or a program that can effectively serve their children’s English learning and academic ne…
Dissecting Anti-Asian Racism Through a Historical and Transnational AsianCrit Lens
The primary focus of this paper is twofold: to demarcate the epistemic erasure of societal knowledge and narratives of Asian Americans as braided with other forms of anti-Asian racism by tracing its historical roots in orientalism, colonialism, and imperialism; and to redress such erasure by foregrounding transnational perspectives and Asian American Critical Race Theory (AsianCrit). By attending to historical and ongoing experiences of migration…
An AsianCrit perspective on Chinese immigrant parents’ language ideologies
Drawing on Asian Critical Race Theory, this qualitative case study analyzed first-generation Chinese immigrant parents' language ideologies on their children's heritage language (HL) maintenance in the United States. The findings revealed parents' persistence in preserving their HLs for their children, as they considered HLs to be an integral component of their identities and a resource for their families. The study also found that parents' immig…
Context Matters as Racialization Evolves: Exploring Bias in Preservice Teacher Responses to Children
This study explores preservice teacher attributions to children’s behaviors portrayed in specific emotion-laden school scenarios. Participants included 178 preservice teachers from three universities. The preservice teachers viewed video vignettes of Black and White child actors in six different school scenarios. Our team constructed two themes from the preservice teachers’ narratives about what they saw: (a) context matters (i.e., different scen…
A raciolinguistic analysis of the neoliberal promotion of dual language education in a new Latinx South state
Dual language (DL) programs in the United States are increasingly promoted as a promising model that serves both language majority and minoritized children. However, many researchers also question whether the programs are truly serving the language minoritized students, or are these programs only treating their language as a resource to serve the already privileged group. Using structural topic modeling and critical discourse analysis, this study…
Response Characteristics of Electric Potential and Its Relationship with Dynamic Disaster during Mining Activities: A Case Study in Xuehu Coal Mine, China
Across the world, coal resource is widely utilized in industrial production. During coal mining activities, dynamic disasters may be induced, such as coal and gas outbursts, or rock burst, resulting in serious accidents or disasters. Previous studies have shown that electric potential (EP) signals can be produced during the deformation and fracture process of coal and rock mass under load. The abnormal response characteristics of EP can reveal th…
Teaching While Becoming: The Transnational Expertise of a Korean Immigrant Youth‐Educator
Immigrant youth accumulate expansive linguistic, cultural, and experiential knowledge through their border‐crossing experiences. These transnational funds of knowledge accompany immigrant youth as they enter various literacy development contexts, including community‐based heritage language (HL) schools. This ethnographic case study focuses on a 15‐year‐old Korean American female student and the ways she sustains her HL by maintaining her transnat…
The #StopAsianHate Movement on Twitter: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Evidence-based intervention and policy strategies to address the recent surge of race-motivated hate crimes and other forms of racism against Asian Americans are essential; however, such efforts have been impeded by a lack of empirical knowledge, e.g., about racism, specifically aimed at the Asian American population. Our qualitative descriptive study sought to fill this gap by using a data-mining approach to examine the contents of tweets having…
Unidirectional or inclusive international education? An analysis of discourses from U.S. international student services office websites
Everybody Wants a Choice” in Dual Language Education of El Nuevo Sur: Whiteness as the Gloss for Everybody in Media Discourses of Multilingual Education
Georgia and North Carolina are part of what some call the New Latinx South, a region where Latinx populations more than doubled recently. Both states have struggled to educate language minoritized students (evidenced by low graduation rates), yet are among the top three states for numbers of dual language (DL) programs in the Southeast. This model integrates English speakers and speakers of a minoritized language to promote biliteracy for all, di…
Representation of monoculturalism in Chinese and Korean heritage language textbooks for immigrant children
This article examines heritage language school textbooks issued by Chinese and Korean governments that are widely used for overseas heritage language learners at the preschool and elementary school levels. Using the lens of critical discourse analysis, this paper explores how cultural diversity is represented in the materials as well as the ideologies that underlie such representations. Findings reveal that the analysed textbooks embody a monolin…
