Jim Jupp is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Teaching and Learning at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He worked in rural and inner-city Title I settings for eighteen years before accepting a position working with teachers, administrators, and researchers at the university level. A public school teacher in diverse rural poor and inner-city Title I schools, his first line of research focuses on White teachers’ understandings of race, class, language, and difference pedagogy in teaching across cultural and racial difference. Drawing on his experiences as teacher and researcher, he was the Lead Editor of a special issue of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies on “Second-wave White Teacher Identity Studies,” and he recently published a review of literature on the same theme in Review of Educational Research, the top-ranked journal in education research in 2017. Additionally, drawing on his experiences living and studying in Spanish language traditions in Mexico and Texas, his second line of research develops transnational sensibilities in education with an emphasis on decolonial Hispanophone curriculum targeted at informing education in Latinx serving institutions, teacher education programs, and preservice and professional teacher education. Overall, he has published more than thirty scholarly articles in a variety of journals including the Review of Educational Research, Teachers College Record, Curriculum Inquiry, Gender and Education, Whiteness and Education, International Journal of Qualitative Research in Education, Multicultural Perspectives, Urban Education, the Journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies, the Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, the English Journal, and Multicultural Review. His second book, Becoming Teachers of Inner-city Students, was published on Sense Publishers in 2013.
