Contributors in areas such as minority and urban education, educational psychology, education studies, teacher education, and educational administration explore the intersections of diversity, equity, and education. Theoretical, empirical, and practical discussions are included to offer a range of vantage points on race, ethnicity, gender, social class, curriculum, and assessment. Some topics addressed include understanding black masculinity in teaching and learning, mentoring and support of female leaders, study abroad in teacher education, and under-representation of African American students in gifted education. The book will be of interest to practicing teachers, teacher educators, graduate and undergraduate students, and educational researchers. Milner is affiliated with the Department of Teaching and Learning at Vanderbilt University.
