Piece accepted for Souls

I have been devoting a good bit of time to confronting deficit perspectives in education and am excited about a new acceptance of an article to appear in Souls:

Thomas, P. L. (2010, July/September). The Payne of addressing race and poverty in public education: Utopian accountability and deficit assumptions of middle class America. Souls, 12(3). TBD.
