Jotería critical race hypotheticals
Critical race qualitative research in education continues advancing methodological and pedagogical tools to affirm lived experiences and epistemologies of Communities of Color. Returning to the legal tradition of critical race research, this article examines racial hypothetical pedagogy emerged as dialogic praxis that elicits conversation through speculative narratives on contested matters, such as race. Derrick Bell’s seminal racial hypothetical…
Racial Microaggressions and Racial Microaffirmations
Grounded in a Critical Race Theory framework, this study explores the racial microaggressions experienced by Faculty of Color at one four-year university in California during what Bell would call a “peak of progress” for racial justice—where equity and inclusivity took center stage in the institutional agenda. society. Our findings revealed that despite the institutional focus on equity, Faculty of Color experiences with racial microaggressions w…
Nepantla Transgressions
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are urgently called upon to decolonize their mission to expand equitable access to higher education for Latine students, particularly those in STEM fields. In recent decades, HSI-STEM programs rely on Latine institutional agents to enact servingness for Latine STEM students. This study examines the structural challenges confronted by Latina líderes in a national HSI-STEM program. Their storytelling informs the…

The Ipums multigenerational longitudinal panel
The IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) is a longitudinal population panel that links American censuses, surveys, administrative sources, and vital records spanning the period from 1850 to the present. This article explains the rationale for IPUMS MLP, outlines the design of the infrastructure, and describes the linking methods used to construct the panel. We then detail our plans for expansion and improvement of MLP over the next fi…
Musical Counterstories
Despite being the fastest growing population in the United States and a part of many music education programs, Asian and Asian American (AAM) music teachers’ voices often are unheard in music education discourses. The purpose of this study was to begin bringing visibility to the experiences of AAM music educators. The research questions explored in this article are: How do AAM music teachers describe their experience in relationship to their raci…
A new strategy for linking U.S. historical censuses
This paper presents a probabilistic method of record linkage, developed using the U.S. full count censuses of 1900 and 1910 but applicable to many sources of digitized historical records. The method links records using a two-step approach, first establishing high confidence matches among men by exploiting a comprehensive set of individual and contextual characteristics. The method then proceeds to link both men and women by leveraging links betwe…
Historical Census Record Linkage
For the past 80 years, social scientists have been linking historical censuses across time to study economic and geographic mobility. In recent decades, the quantity of historical census record linkage has exploded, owing largely to the advent of new machine-readable data created by genealogical organizations. Investigators are examining economic and geographic mobility across multiple generations and also engaging many new topics. Several analys…
Measuring Cohabitation and Family Structure in the United States
In 2007, the Current Population Survey (CPS) introduced a measure that identifies all cohabiting partners in a household, regardless of whether they describe themselves as “unmarried partners” in the relationship to householder question. The CPS now also links children to their biological, step-, and adoptive parents. Using these new variables, we analyze the prevalence of cohabitation as well as the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics …
Building the National Historical Geographic Information System
The National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) is a new project to make a rich body of aggregate census data accessible within a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework for historical population research. The authors are developing a database incorporating all available aggregate census information for the United States between 1790 and 2000, including all surviving machine-readable aggregate data and new data transcribed fr…
Ipums Redesign
This new project will create two large parallel series of historical U.S. census microdata. The first is a redesigned Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) incorporating Census 2000 and the American Community Survey. The IPUMS is a compatible series of large census microdata samples spanning the period from 1850 to 2000. The second is a restricted-use micro-data archive containing 1.4 billion records from the censuses of 1940 to 2000. Th…
