Scholarly Involvement
My research and scholarship employ critical theories of race to examines the intersections of racism and higher education policy, curriculum, and outcomes. Additionally, my work evaluates the racial curricula (both explicit and hidden) embedded within higher education’s policies, practices, and culture. I identify as a race scholar and antiracist educator. I deeply desire for my research and scholarship to contribute to the development of antiracist practices within higher education and the production of antiracist citizens.
