This article situates Geneva Gay’s scholarship in the historical and contemporary contexts of multicultural education. Specifically, we discuss how Geneva Gay’s scholarship in culturally responsive research has advanced the theory and praxis of multicultural education. Additionally, because Geneva Gay is an actor and a revolutionary, we share with readers our inquiries into the multiethnic curriculum she created for us all in scholarly and collegial spaces within organizations and associations.

Abstract

This article situates Geneva Gay’s scholarship in the historical and contemporary contexts of multicultural education.

Additionally, because Geneva Gay is an actor and a revolutionary, we share with readers our inquiries into the multiethnic curriculum she created for us all in scholarly and collegial spaces within organizations and associations.
