Race and Ethnicity in the Study of Motivation in Education collects
work from prominent education researchers who study the interaction
of race, ethnicity, and motivation in educational contexts.
Focusing on both historical and contemporary iterations of
race-based educational constructs, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this critical topic. Contributors to the
volume offer analyses of issues faced by students, including
students' educational pursuits and aspirations, as well as the
roles of students' family and social networks in achieving
educational success. A timely and illuminating volume, Race and
Ethnicity in the Study of Motivation in Education is the definitive
resource for understanding motivation issues posed by non-dominant
groups-including African American, Latino, Asian-Pacific Islanders,
and Arab-American students--in educational contexts
Despite the growing urgency for Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the
field of education, the "how" of this theoretical framework can
often be overlooked. This exciting edited collection presents
different methods and methodologies, which are used by education
researchers to investigate critical issues of racial justice in
education from a CRT perspective. Featuring scholars from a range
of disciplines, the chapters showcase how various researchers
synthesize different methods-including qualitative, quantitative
and mixed methods, and historical and archival research-with CRT to
explore issues of equity and access in the field of education.
Scholars discuss their current research approaches using CRT and
present new models of conducting research within a CRT framework,
offering a valuable contribution to ongoing methodological debates.
Researchers across different levels of expertise will find the
articulations of CRT and methods insightful and compelling.

Cultivating Curious and Creative Minds presents a plethora of
approaches to developing human potential in areas not
conventionally addressed. Organized in two parts, this
international collection of essays provides viable educational
alternatives to those currently holding sway in an era of
high-stakes accountability. Taken together, the chapters in Part I
of Cultivating Curious and Creative Minds provide a sampling of
what the cultivation of curious and creative minds entails. The
contributing authors shed light on how curiosity and creativity can
be approached in the teaching domain and discuss specific ideas
concerning how it plays out in particular situations and contexts.
When Critical Multiculturalism Meets Mathematics details the
development and outcomes of a teacher professional development
project that merged multiculturalism and mathematics. In six
compact chapters the authors describe the impetus for their
multi-year project and present rich case studies of nine teacher
participants. The cases stand alone as compelling reading, yet
Marshall et al. extend beyond their distinctiveness to explain the
statistical data related to the project's broader impact.
Emphasizing both qualitative and quantitative findings makes this
book ideal for novice researchers interested in mixed method study.
Likewise, the authors unveil the anatomy and a few complexities of
conducting research in the real world contexts of schools including
participant recruitment and resolution of unanticipated matters
that can arise within research teams. A unique twist in the final
chapter is Marshall et al.'s critique of their own missteps as
researchers, which are used skillfully and unobtrusively to proffer
tips for future studies. They conclude by theorizing affirmed
intersectionality, identified as the critical element that
facilitated teachers' recognition and acceptance of the
compatibility between the study's two components.
