Her research examines racial disparities in education from a historical perspective by identifying larger patterns of social exclusion that are perpetuated in deficit attitudes and practices. Drawing on critical social theory and a framework of historical reconciliation, her writing seeks to reshape dominant cultural narratives that contribute to harmful understandings of race and racial difference. Her work appears in the Journal of Higher Education, Caribbean Quarterly, and The International Christian Community for Teacher Education Journal. She is also a contributor to Black Protest Thought and Education (W.H. Watkins, editor) and The Dictionary of Caribbean and Afro-Latin American Biography (F.W. Wright and H.L. Gates, Jr., editors).
