Abstract This article explores how Black male teachers in Hollywood films continue to be encoded with meanings derived from deficit social science discourse generated through a white-controlled epistemic order. Drawing from the framework of critical public pedagogy and utilizing the critical visual cultural tradition, we contend that the representation of Black male teachers on film is rooted in longstanding conceptual narratives of Black men and boys. Findings indicate that cinematic films both develop their scripts around and contextualize the necessity of Black male teachers within deficit sociological tropes of absent Black fathers and their endangered sons.

Abstract This article presents an autoethnographic reflection from three education scholars—a white man, a Latinx woman, and a Black woman—on the institutional presence of whiteness in the academy. We started developing this reflection when jointly conducting a study of faculty and students of color in a predominantly white institution (PWI). Ongoing discussion of that study’s interviews and themes led us to write about how that work affected us personally. As our reflection progressed and we continued to analyze what we wrote, what started as a reflection on conducting race research became a set of narratives about our experiences with whiteness in the academy more broadly. We share those narratives to highlight the visceral nature of whiteness, i.e., the emotional weight and harm of whiteness’ looming presence in the academy. We also explore how the research act—when conducted as critical, collaborative autoethnography—can serve as a form of antiracist community building and help carve out space for speaking back to the othering and silencing white narratives of white racial spaces like PWIs.

Abstract A settler colonial educator of European descent, I write as an uninvited guest on Indigenous land. Truths of the past are determining the future of humanity, a contribution that allyship can make. In this article, I share vital information and critical ideas that underscore the importance of allyship in the contexts of settler colonialism and educational transformation. My purpose is to help anticolonial educators connect their Indigenous teaching, research, and activism to the vision and goals of decolonization. Much of the allyship work in education puts “decolonial” consciousness-raising at the center of transformation, but without much attention to its humanitarian relationships (beyond racist binaries), reparation (amends are in order), and freedom (disproportionate containment continues). Through ongoing dialogue, the educational community can invoke meaningful work on behalf of tribal justice. As argued, pedagogies that are filtered through settler colonial consciousness need recentering to grapple with radical politics of the day and Indigenous ways of seeing the future. This article is organized with Allies for Politicizing Pedagogy—my literature-informed framework, introduced for the first time—and its three elements/themes: (a) allyship and dialogic transparency, (b) decolonization and the radical imaginary, and (c) Indigenous futurity and the future. A reflection ends this work.

Abstract Western modernity has shaped people’s thought patterns and value hierarchies, relegating humans to the position of supremacy. This anthropocentric worldview has disconnected humans from the rest of nature and eventually led to the social and ecological catastrophe. This paper shows that collective memory work can help us recognize how we are always socialized within and by human communities and also already ecosocialized within and by the rest of nature. The motivation to use the ecosocialization framework to analyze childhood memories comes from our wish to problematize the anthropocentric view of life further and resituate childhood and growing up beyond exclusively social and human contexts. We draw on the memories collected in the Re-Connect / Re-Collect: Crossing the Divides through Memories of Cold War Childhoods project (2019–2021). We “think with theory” to reveal traces of ecosocialization present in childhood memories. On this basis, we suggest that including multisensory awareness practices in memory workshops to recognize our bodily belonging—as participants create their memory stories bringing into focus relations with more-than-humans—could potentialize collective biography as a form of transformative ecosocial education.
