Tackling Race Inequality in Higher Education

Dear Colleagues,

We are now accepting submissions for a Specialist Issue on the theme of tackling race inequality in higher education. This issue provides a focal point on systemic, racial inequity in higher education, and welcomes original and challenging research that explores the dynamics of race, racism and ethnicity in education policy, theory and practice. The goal of this Special Issue is to publish some of the best and most current work that addresses the interconnections between race, ethnicity and multiple forms of oppression including class, gender, sexuality and disability. We are inclusive and seek to broaden the representation of contributors, welcoming researchers from under-represented groups and third world countries too. It is important that authors reflect and share their own positionality, i.e., race (self-identified and perceived), gender, ethnicity and parent level of education when they were 16, as baseline information about their social location in grids of power in their articles.

Topics that would be appropriated for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• Research that explores the dynamics of race, racism and ethnicity in education policy, theory and practice, and ways to tackle inequality;
• Writing that addresses the interconnections between race, ethnicity and multiple forms of oppression including class, gender, sexuality and disability;
• Historical overview and identification of current systems of exclusion for students in higher education and ways to address them;
• Research that centralizes the lived experience of racism and microaggression of students;
• Positive interventions and inclusive education practice models;
• Indigenous knowledge and methods of practice tackling racial inequality in higher education.

We request that prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 150 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send this to the Guest Editors [email protected] or to /Genealogy/ Editorial Office ([email protected]). Abstracts will be reviewed by the Guest Editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer review.
