Current Research

My doctoral research takes up transformative justice, as a practice of antiracist education, in facilitating and navigating racial conflict, harm, and tension that occur in Teacher Education classrooms. The framework of transformative justice that I employ and integrate into my curricular attunements and pedagogical choices are informed by feminist thinkers and scholars, who insist on generative and harm reductive ways to approach conflicted situations. More specifically, I pay attention to calling in versus calling out, and I ask what potential the latter might afford and open up when taking up "difficult" and "hard" conversations as a teacher educator working with a future generation of teachers.
