Our faculty conduct cross-disciplinary research to examine the purposes, constraints, and opportunities within education systems. Specifically, they investigate how racial, economic, and gender dynamics influence the structure of schools and diverse learning environments, from traditional classrooms to alternative educational settings. Faculty members additionally study how language and literacy can serve as catalysts for societal transformation, with a consistent focus on their power to drive equity and foster fairer communities. Their work addresses education's capacity to strengthen democracy amidst challenges like social disparities, economic shifts, and evolving national identity. This encompasses studying student and teacher activism, revolutionary teaching methods in social movements, systemic racism and colonial legacies in schooling, curriculum content decisions, disciplinary or financial policies, and inequities across different educational settings and student achievements.
