We consider how these and other factors interact in the dynamic field of antiracist pedagogy and research. In this collaborative effort, we seek new ways to adapt our research and teaching practices in response to these shifting times -- a creative communion that continues the difficult work towards a more inclusive participatory democracy through the enterprise of educational equity. </p></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:large"><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">We wish to encourage making public actual lived teaching/researching experiences describing events that challenge the inequities that have arisen while teaching and learning in contact with communities of difference. </p></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:large"><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Envisioning this project, we look forward to proposals describing events that challenge the inequities that have arisen while teaching and learning in contact with communities of difference. </p><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">We hope to have chapters that: </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.3px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">1. invite our readership to acknowledge the political and practical constraints under which they are working (interests and privileges). </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.3px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">2. present the event/s that warrant critical reflection and action. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.3px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">3. offer space to encourage our readership to become more aware of how the intersectionalities described by the contributors interact dynamically within classrooms, schools, and community contexts, leading them to consider actions that support mutual understanding and collaboration. </p><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">4. include potential actions to help create spaces for growth in which anti-racist communities approach each other in the shared struggle towards transforming inequitable conditions for teaching/researching/learning. </p><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman""><b>Target Audience </b></p></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:large"><p style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11.5px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">The projected audience for this text includes US teachers, teacher educators, and researchers committed to exploring their contexts to identify practices and perspectives whose consequences are important for inclusivity of learners and their communities.
