She recently received her PhD from the University of Minnesota in Curriculum and Instruction. Her dissertation, The Fight for the Right to Teach: Mapping the Terrain of the Diversity Gap in Teacher Education, theorizes the ways teacher education can reproduce the exclusion and marginalization of People of Color and Indigenous people from teaching and curriculum. Her research interests include pedagogies of social movement spaces; activist research methods; social justice, abolitionist, and decolonial movements in education; and gender/sexuality and education.
