About
I study how STEM higher education spaces, organized by race and gender, affect historically excluded groups, aiming to make them more equitable and transformative. Two central questions guide my work: a) How and to what extent do organizational mechanisms inside of STEM higher education spaces sustain and reproduce inequity for historically excluded and minoritized groups? and b) How can groups of people and individuals work to push back, resist, and transform STEM higher education spaces to be more liberating and affirming. I interweave a variety of disciplinary traditions and perspectives (i.e., Black feminisms, organizational theory, social identity theory, etc.) and methodologies (i.e., critical phenomenology, case study and multilevel modeling) to address these questions.
