Personal Statement

Issues of equity and justice are central to my work, worldview, and ways of being in the world. My academic interests meet at the intersection of education and critical theory, and I value the importance of: 1) reflective inquiry as pedagogical praxis and 2) community-oriented, culturally relevant, and data-driven practices in schools and community settings. I have extensive international research and teaching experience, having worked in several countries and continents around the world.

Research Interests

  • Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies
  • Issues of Equity and Diversity in Education
  • Global and International Education
  • Qualitative Research
