Profile

I study coloniality in education in order to decolonize and reimagine with community how to structure education that centers and empowers minoritized, racialized, and indigenous languages, cultures, knowledge, histories, and literacies. My research and teaching look at (1) examining how educational policies and practices devalue, silence, and marginalize minoritized, racialized, and indigenous languages (ways of speaking), cultures (ways of being and doing), knowledge (ways of knowing), histories, and literacies; (2) examining how educational leaders reinforce and/or resist policies and practices that marginalize and silence their minoritized, racialized, and vulnerable students and family; (3) highlighting stories of resistance among minoritized, racialized, and vulnerable groups that can inform how to change educational policies and practices.
