Antiracist spaces for students to grow in classrooms and student services. Forum for International Research on Students and Teaching. While the national conversation about antiracism and racism has introduced a new vocabulary to many Americans, far fewer deeply understand their meanings and applications to everyday life. This article selected seven vocabulary terms and applied them to the classroom and student services for secondary and postsecondary students. These terms include ally, imposter syndrome, intersectionality, racial humility, privilege and check your privilege, and social justice. The coauthors of this article often wrote in a first-person style as they shared real-life examples and the solutions they chose to combat a toxic learning environment. Each coauthor is a member of Colleagues of Color for Social Justice. This article extends the national dialogue on the pervasive presence of racism through real-life examples in educational settings.
