    The Black (W)hole: Examining Institutional Racism in Doctoral Education, an OrgCrit Perspective
    (Texas Education Review, 2020) Nagbe, Mariama N.
    Centering the role of institutional racism within graduate education remains an understudied topic in existing literature on Black doctoral student socialization experiences at Predominantly White Institutions (PWI). This leaves us with a void of sorts—or a Black (w)hole—whereby numerous studies acknowledge challenges within the collective Black doctoral student experience, yet, a hole (or void) exists within our understanding of how researchers interpret institutional racism at the center of their scholarly inquiry. Thus, this systematic literature review applied a critical organizational theory perspective to examine how higher education scholars grappled with the issue of institutional racism within their studies on Black doctoral students at PWIs.

    Disrupting White Teacher Education
    (Texas Education Review, 2020) McLean, Jimmy; Alexander, Kerry
    Recognizing that K-12 and higher education spaces center Whiteness, the authors of this editorial invite other White teacher educator-scholars to disrupt the dominance of Whiteness in university-based teacher education and research. In the form of a letter, the authors implore White readers to join them in regularly noticing White privilege and engaging in concerted divestment; analyzing the racialization of policies, systems, and social patterns in which they participate; holding one another accountable for racially just action and repair; and advocating for sweeping changes to education systems and institutions. By offering strategies and specific anti-racist actions that begin to dismantle and de-center Whiteness in teacher education and research, the authors embrace humility and discomfort as a guide to racial consciousness.
