Understanding the Role of Violent Extremism and Its Implications for School Psychologists, Educators, and Schools
Violent extremism in the United States is not an aberration but a constitutive, historically rooted phenomenon. While often framed as a psychological or ideological pathology, extremism has long been socially, culturally, and politically embedded. Reactionary violence—from Indian removal, slavery, and lynching to the Ku Klux Klan, militia movements, and contemporary mass shootings—has dwarfed radical extremism in scope and impact. Extra-legal com…

It presents antifascism as a multifaceted phenomenon at the intersection of local, national, and transnational processes that is embraced by a variety of actors with differing agendas.

Performance, Protest, and Feminism in Latin America
How do activists in Latin America fight for change both online and in the streets? This piece narrates a course on Feminist Protest and Performance in Latin America that explores the limits and possibilities of feminist activism in physical and digital spaces. At this critical historical juncture, feminists across the hemisphere are organizing en masse to demand change and justice, to denounce pervasive misogyny and gender violence, and to envisi…
Exposing Fascism
From 2016 to 2019, the backlash in Brazil against so-called gender ideology framed gender dissidence as a reason for the country’s perceived decline, playing a central role in the rise of Bolsonarismo, a movement increasingly identified as fascist. In this gender-hostile environment, I examine Brazil’s first trans men’s soccer team, the Meninos Bons de Bola (MBB), and its use of nudity as a response to the political shift rightward and to tell a …
Navigating Online Misogyny
The far right movements that have increasingly gained traction in the U.S. and around the world are connected to violent, white supremacist, misogynist, anti-Semitic, xenophobic communities on the internet. In the U.S., the hate that was on full display during the election and administration of the 45th president, culminating in the Capitol Riot (January 6, 2021) are, in part, results of marginalized movements mobilizing online and entering the m…

The Soccer Tournament as Beauty Pageant
This paper uses the case of a soccer tournament in São Paulo, Brazil to elucidate the salience of beauty in the context of commercial sports. Over the past two decades, as women's soccer has become more popular in Brazil, the physical appearance of soccer players has also changed. I focus on the selection practices of a major tournament in São Paulo to explore the dynamics of "beautification" in women's soccer. Namely, how does the whitening and …
Great Crossings
In this beautifully written book, prize-winning historian Christina Snyder reinterprets the history of Jacksonian America. Usually, this drama focuses on whites who turned west to conquer a continent, extending liberty as they went. Great Crossings features Indians from across the continent seeking new ways to assert anciently-held rights, and people of African descent who challenged the United States to live up to its ideals. These diverse group…
The Rise and Fall and Rise of Civilizations
In February 1838 a teenaged Choctaw student named George Washington Trahern delivered an oration based on his essay “On History.” Standing before his classmates, the board of trustees, and other guests, Trahern argued that “history is the brightest ornament to an education.” The study of written documents “opened a vast field [of] important knowledge” to all people, enabling them to read about the governments, militaries, and social and cultural …

Slavery in Indian Country
Christina Snyder's "Slavery in Indian Country: The Changing Face of Captivity in Early America" examines the complex and often overlooked history of Native American slavery in the colonial Southeast.
