Drawing from an ethnographic case study of Black youth activists, authors highlight the educative value of youths’ perspectives, experiences, and organizing. Data reveal Black youths’ understandings of systemic educational inequity, and authors suggest how their knowledge and inquiry-based activism around issues like school closure and funding can boost adult educational leaders’ critical consciousness and improve their equity-based and anti-raci…
School Closure, Racial Politics, and Vulnerable Youth
This article highlights the acclaim, struggles, and ultimate closure of a Detroit public school for pregnant and parenting teens that was shuttered despite national commendation, community protests, for-profit charter conversion, and a civil rights lawsuit. Authors analyze discourse from educational, media, and legal data sources to offer a critical policy analysis of the school’s closure trajectory. Authors suggest how the effects of state decis…
Anti-racist research practice partnerships as critical education
This paper reflects upon "Justice Now Coalition" (JNC), an anti-racist research practice partnership (RPP). The Coalition drew from the Black Emancipatory Action Research (BEAR) Framework as well as Black feminist, Afro-futurist, and critical race epistemologies to answer two research questions: 1) How can an urban education RPP that includes academic, community, and youth partners engage in a collaborative inquiry process that helps to dismantle…

Authors examine the benefits, challenges, and potential of using PAR to advance educational justice and transformative goals amidst austere neoliberal education reforms, such as public school closure and state sanctioned pri…
Examining covert and explicit mechanisms of education inequity to foster just public education and authentic democracies
In this editorial essay, the author pinpoints key insights, implications, and cross cutting themes that emerged from this special issue. These insights shed light on the interlocking connection between inequitable public education systems and vulnerable democracies, both of which fail to uphold their charge to be inclusive and just. Special attention is given to the harm of race-avoidant, classist, and/or public-aversive discourse and policies, t…

Supporting African American Student Success Through Prophetic Activism
This article describes how African American students’ success can be improved via the increased support of Black churches and their partnerships with public schools. Findings and implications from a comparative case study of two North Carolina churches that strive to educationally assist African American public school students are detailed. Both churches have outreach programs in local schools, and their activities indicate the value of faith-bas…
Black Educational Activism for Community Empowerment
This article discusses themes emerging from studies of Black educational activism conducted in London, Toronto, and Detroit. A critical meta-analysis reveals that Black educational activists resist racism and other forms of oppression; act as border crossers and/or boundary spanners as they navigate complex community-based, institutional, and political terrains; serve as change agents from the grassroots to institutional level; and, develop and e…
Recasting Border Crossing Politics and Pedagogies to Combat Educational Inequity
Fostering Community Life and Human Civility in Academic Departments Through Covenant Practice
Creating desirable academic departments for individuals’ well-being and quality scholarship is an important effort as well as a novel idea. The focus of this reflective article is twofold: (a) We present a social capital theory of social justice covenants as a product and process of community building, and (b) we share the multiple lived experiences of three scholars within the context of our department's covenant ideology and practice. We explor…
