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 and interrogating how racist and colonial 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) highlighting stories of resistance among minoritized, racialized, and vulnerable groups through community engagement so that (3) so that I can prepare current and future school leaders with the tools and knowledge to improve school systems to better serve their marginalized students and families.
