Scholarly Interests and Contributions My scholarly interests lie in critical pedagogy and how individuals and groups assert their agency in relation to hegemonic forces. Additional and related interests include how language is used to serve as a form of regulation and domination and how hope, resistance, critique, and possibility can become a part of a larger narrative in education. Most current scholarly projects include an exploration of social activism and educational leadership.

Educational Background
Professional Experience
Scholarly Interests and Contributions My research focuses on the confluence of philosophy and urban youth culture/popular culture with an emphasis on identity and the educative process. I deal mostly in contemporary philosophy including neopragmatism and Black existentialism. I am currently working on a book project that criticizes the perceived "weakness" of multicultural education and offers the application of a variety of theoretical schools of thought as a corrective.
