(1988). Prejudice and the Reduction of Prejudice in Australian Society. White Australian history has displayed rampant racism, sexism, and cultural chauvinism. Since 1947 Australia has undergone a demographic revolution in both size and ethnic composition. The four million migrants, 56 percent of whom are of non-British origin, and their 2 million children, account for nearly 60 percent of Australia's post-war population growth. Although the federal and state governments have been enacting equal opportunity and affirmative action legislation, and there have been improvements in community attitudes toward migrants, racism and cultural chauvinism persist in many forms and in many aspects of Australian society. Aboriginal Australians are the minority group most subject to prejudice and discrimination. The following aspects of the nature and construction of prejudice are discussed: (1) racialism; (2) cultural superiority; and (3) political and economic dimensions. Australian society must combat prejudice by generating a range of coherent policies to work…
(1983). Children & Race. The major aims of this book are to provide an account of racial attitude development in young children and to describe the effects of racism on the development of black children, specifically in the United Kingdom. The book draws freely on American and British research in an effort to illuminate the British experience. The first two chapters provide a historical backdrop to the history of prejudice and introduce a social psychological perspective on the issue. The remainder of the book is devoted to developmental aspects of prejudice, i.e., the processes by which children develop racial attitudes as a normal consequence of their socialization within a society in which racial prejudice is widespread. A general discussion of socialization in regard to attitudes and identity is followed by a look at cultural factors in racism. Specific areas addressed are literature, the mass media, and the relationship between color values and racial values. Consequences for the black child of living…
(2024). Toward (Racial) Justice-In-The-Doing of Place-Based Community Engagement. Metropolitan Universities, v35 n1 p56-81. Community and campus partners can benefit from place-based community engagement to enact a commitment to racial equity and community-driven decision-making. Racial equity is paramount in place-based community engagement. However, very little attention has been given to how whiteness in the ideological foundations of higher education shapes the work lives of professionals, faculty, and the collaborations they form to address community issues. Thus, the purpose of this case study is to foreground some paradoxes of whiteness-at-work (Yoon, 2012) in an informal place-based community engagement collaboration between the Center for Public Life at Oklahoma State University-Tulsa and members of the historic Greenwood community in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We take a reflexive stance (Ozias & Pasque, 2019), examining our own experience to explore how Yoon's (2012) concept of whiteness-at-work serves as a tool for advancing the racial equity agenda of place-based community engagement. We conclude… [PDF]

(2007). Media/Visual Literacy Art Education: Sexism in Hip-Hop Music Videos. Art Education, v60 n3 p33-38 May. Media programs like hip-hop music videos are powerful aesthetic agents that inspire teenagers. Thus, they have tremendous influence on young people's identity formation, lifestyle choices, and knowledge construction which are manifested in the ways teens dress, express themselves, behave, and interact with each other. However, because of the controversies associated with sexism, racism, homophobia, and materialism often seen in hip-hop music videos, educators seem to rarely discuss or examine them in their classroom settings. The messages in hip-hop music videos in particular, perpetuate gender stereotypes and discrimination and attempt to normalize unequal social behavior under the label of art. Contemporary art educators advocate the importance of fostering media/visual literacy in children through critically examining discursive cultural and aesthetic sites in the popular media. In concert with art education's goal of fostering critical media/visual literacy in future citizens,… [Direct]

(2022). School Counselors and Principals Serving as Co-Conspirators for Antiracist Program Evaluation. Professional School Counseling, v26 n1c. Principals and school counselors, as advocates and leaders, have a moral and ethical imperative to interrogate and disrupt the educational inequities pervading P-12 schools. Trained in data collection, disaggregation, and analyses, principals and school counselors must utilize their knowledge and skills in program evaluation to challenge systemic racism, advocate for marginalized students, and collaborate with key stakeholders to dismantle racist policies and practices taking place in classrooms, schools, and broader communities. Program evaluation practices are tools that school counselors and principals can use to bridge social capital by inviting historically marginalized groups of people to have their voices be heard and have a seat at the table where decisions are being made. In this article, we present an Antiracist Program Evaluation Cycle as a framework for school counselor and principal collaboration, with recommendations to disassemble institutional racism that exists… [Direct]
(1977). Options in Education: Program No. 88. Sex and Sexism in Education, Part II. Transcripts of a Weekly Series Broadcast by Member Stations of National Public Radio. This booklet is a transcription of a program from the radio series, "Options in Education." It is part 2 of a two-part series dealing with sexism in education.

(1995). Racism and Antiracism in Real Schools. This book focuses on race at work in the British educational system, a concern that is pertinent because education occupies a pivotal role in contemporary race politics. The study on which it is based blends school-based research with a critical reading of policy and theory. The experiences of teachers in real schools show that schools can challenge racism in school and in the world beyond. The original study grew from a wider study of a number of educational issues; two secondary schools for case studies on racial issues were chosen from participants in the larger study. In both case-study schools it was clear that race and racism were taken seriously as whole-school issues, and both schools were regarded by government inspectors as being in the forefront of good practice in regard to equal opportunities. Part 1 focuses on policy issues and broad educational issues with regard to race. Part 2 provides more detailed examinations of study schools, student perspectives, and antiracist…
(2023). Toward a Research and Practice Agenda for Evaluation in Community-Campus Partnerships. Metropolitan Universities, v34 n3 p82-88 Jul. Evaluation of community-campus partnerships is a contested topic and, in many ways, is still at an early stage of development. With growing momentum behind community-university collaboration and increased pressure to document the positive impact of universities, there is a pressing need for research and innovation in this area. Many community engagement professionals are looking for new and creative approaches to evaluating partnership work — approaches that capture the work's depth, complexity, and values and can be used to foster learning, community accountability, collaboration, and systems change. This article proposes six promising directions for research and practice related to evaluating campus-community partnerships. They emerged as themes from an interactive CUMU Community Engagement Evaluation Huddle session at the annual CUMU conference. Drawing on the collective knowledge of Huddle participants, we identified the following directions: (1) evaluating systemic racism; (2)… [PDF]
(1991). Peace Education Meets the Challenge of the Cultures of Militarism. Peace Education Miniprints No. 11. The militaristic culture serves to imprison many of the world's peoples, and most persons are not even aware of the harmful limitations that this culture's emphasis on military preparedness, violence, and the use of force in international relations places on all humans. This paper discusses various characteristics of militarism, and peace education that has as some of its aims the conversion of cultures of militarism to cultures of peace, authoritarian education to democratic education, sexism to supporting equality between men and women, obedience and uniformity to supporting self-reliance, independence, and critical thinking and racism and nationalism to tolerance and global responsibility. A 39-item list of references is included. (DB)…
(1993). Confronting Diversity Issues on Campus. Survival Skills for Scholars. Volume 6. This book addresses issues of racism, diversity, and intercultural communication in the college or university work place. Chapter 1 exposes several unwritten and informal rules that can become traps and pitfalls for the unknowing, especially people of color. It views the informal structure of the university through the eyes of minority faculty members and students and offers some suggestions for survival. Chapter 2 is a discussion of racial identity and the myths and realities of racism as it is known in the United States. Chapter 3 highlights the importance of daily communication about diversity. Chapter 4 unpacks four major and inevitable conflicts that arise when cultures collide in college environments: the purpose of education, affirmative action, freedom of speech, and the role of ethnic studies. In addition the chapter suggests possible resolution strategies and their consequences. Chapter 5 discusses \communities of interest\ and the necessity of redefining them: how the…
(1976). A Study of Black Graduate Students in Alabama. As long as blacks are underrepresented in graduate and professional schools, they will continue to be underrepresented in the professions and other policy-level positions. Historically, and today, the barriers to graduate education faced by blacks are diverse and include financial assistance, racism, recruitment practices, admissions policies, motivation and job opportunities. An examination of black students attending graduate schools in Alabama during the summer and fall sessions, 1974, seeks to relate access to graduate training and the experiences of the student enrolled.
