The Power of Education Across the African Diaspora
The intellectual, cultural, and political contributions of the African diaspora have long gone underacknowledged in educational research. Furthermore, the historical, social, and economic powers of
Educating Harlem
Educating Harlem brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to consider of the history of schooling in perhaps the nation’s most iconic black community. The volume traces the varied ways that Harlem residents defined and pursued educational justice for their children and community despite consistent neglect and structural oppression.
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…
From Digital Consumption to Digital Invention
The teaching of media and digital literacies has gained increased attention in the 20 years following the New London Group's landmark publication. From approaches urging the study of popular culture to calls for youth led social media revolution, there is no shortage of approaches. Yet scant attention is offered toward articulating a new and comprehensive theory of pedagogy and production that acknowledges the changing tools and technologies at y…
Ypar and Critical Epistemologies
Knowledges from academic and professional research-based institutions have long been valued over the organic intellectualism of those who are most affected by educational and social inequities. 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…
The dual pedagogy of Ypar
Now that I am a researcher, I am analyzing, comparing and contrasting different communities. I have the ability to recognize the similarities and differences between urban and suburban areas. The s
Doing Youth Participatory Action Research
Doing Youth Participatory Action Research offers an unprecedented, in-depth exploration of the pragmatics and possibilities of youth-driven research. Drawing upon multiple years of experience engaging youth in rigorous, critical inquiry about the conditions impacting their lives, the authors examine how YPAR encourages the educational community to re-imagine the capabilities of young people and the purposes of teaching, learning, and research its…

Toward a Critical Pedagogy of Race
Teachers as Civic Agents
Under the guise of increasing quality and accountability, many urban teacher education programs and professional development models characterize educators as mere transmitters of standardized content knowledge. The authors argue that such dehumanizing practices, which are rooted in the discourse of neoliberalism, prevent teachers from helping their students develop powerful literacies and civic skills. The authors seek to disrupt mainstream views…
Critical Literacy, Educational Investment, and the Blueprint for Reform
This article analyzes, “A Blueprint for Reform: The Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act,” a recently released report from the U.S. Department of Education. It begins with an analysis of the strengths of the report. The Blueprint argues for increased college access and more federal attention to public education. In addition, the Blueprint outlines an inclusive and simultaneous commitment to educational equity and national…

Multiple perspectives on preparing teachers to teach reading

Studying the Struggle
Activism and organizing can be a fertile subject matter for young people to study. This article presents a case study of a summer seminar in which urban high school students examined the historical struggle for educational justice in their communities. Adopting a "communities of practice" approach to learning, the article documents the changing participation of seminar participants and the changing identities and skills that this entailed. During…
Critical Sociology in K-16 Early Intervention
This article examines the pathways to higher education of two working-class Latino students participating in an intervention program at a diverse, metropolitan high school. Using critical narratives from 2 of the 30 student participants, this article exposes several reasons disproportionately low numbers of Latino students gain access to higher education. Furthermore, their narratives identify several strategies to empower and guide first-generat…
