Burke publishes article on White Christian nationalism in “Educational Researcher”
Kevin J. Burke, a professor in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, published a research article in the journal “Educational Researcher” on the need to attend to white Christian nationalism and its effects on educational policy and practice.
The piece, co-authored by professor Mary Juzwik from Michigan State University and professor Esther Prins from Penn State University, argues that learning about white Christian nationalism can help educational stakeholders better understand current educational battles, such as banning books and discussion of critical race theory, and contextualize a wide range of pressing problems facing U.S. education, especially problems involving educational justice and equity.

Greene made to evaluation and mixed methods, focusing on how she disrupted traditional ways methods are conceptualized and implemented. Overall, the book provides a range of perspectives on how Greene disrupted social science theory, methodology, and training through her commitment to the values of democracy, diversity, and dialogue.
