Volume 4, Issue 1 (2018)

Welcome to Volume 4, Issue 1. The editorial review board and the staff of Fayetteville State University, Journal of Research Initiatives have worked diligently to ensure this issue provides our readers with pieces that are both informative and insightful. This issue features articles by leading scholars who have conducted research on (a) how race and racism empowers the school curriculum, (b) gender and diversity issues, such as celebrating the differences of students in public schools and higher education, and (c) international research on the pursuit of education for women in rural Honduras, among others. I would like to thank the reviewers for this issue for taking the time to devote to reading and making suggestions to authors. Also, thank you, the readers, for your support and we hope you enjoy this issue.
