Barron’s work on her position as a non-Anglo faculty member, and her work on confronting identity issues experienced by non-mainstream students (particularly Latinos) in higher education can be found in various journals and edited collections. Her current research interests include issues of diversity in online environments, Latina identity construction in online and face-to-face educational settings, and understanding principles of peace in local, national and international settings. She is exploring venues that expose students to peaceful interactions in diverse settings and promote social action.
