Arrested Development: How This We Believe Utilizes Colorblind Narratives and Racialization to Socially Construct Early Adolescent Development
The Urban ReviewChristopher L Busey and Jesse Gainer
2021-04-18
Early adolescents go through developmental changes which are also mediated through social and structural forces that reproduce stratifying hierarchies around race, class, gender and sexuality. Despite the intersection of early adolescent development with social and institutional forces, critical concepts such as race are often omitted in general discourses of middle level education.
The making of global Black anti-citizen/citizenship: Situating BlackCrit in global citizenship research and theory
Theory & Research in Social EducationChristopher L Busey and Tianna Dowie-Chin
2021-01-19
In this article, we aim to problematize vernacularized conceptualizations of citizenship in social studies education that sidestep the socio-historical significance of anti-Black world systems in the creation of human/non-human and, consequently, citizen/anti-citizen. More specifically, we argue that BlackCrit interlopes antiblackness in the intellectual apprehension of taken-for-granted concepts such as Blackness, globality, citizenship and racism.

Educational ResearcherChristopher L Busey and Carolyn Silva
2020-10-23
US-based scholars often colloquially employ Brown as a monolithic reference to Latinidad in education research without attention to its racialized and anti-Black underpinnings. In this conceptual essay, we apprehend the currents of hemispheric racial formation within a South–North orientation to problematize the essentialist ethos of US Latinxs as monolithically Brown.

Teacher Education QuarterlyChristopher L Busey and Priscilla Bell
2021-12-01
Drawing from critical race theory in education as a conceptual framework, we use an intersectional narrative methodology to foreground how four first-generation women preservice teachers of color-US Black and Latina-navigate the racial grammar of teacher education.
