He is the author of The Black Panther Party and Transformative Pedagogy: Place-Based Education in Philadelphia (2014) and has published/co-published works that attend to: the Black Power Movement; enslaved resistance in film; race, power and culture; and Black masculinity and fatherhood identity(-ies). As an Interdisciplinarian, Dr. Dyson has fused his background in Curriculum & Instruction (Ph.D.-Purdue University), Child Development & Family Studies (M.S.-Purdue University), Experimental Psychology (B.S.-University of South Carolina-Columbia), and Early Childhood Education (minor) to understand the impact that conflict, multi-systemic, social inequity, and unmet needs has on the healthy development of social beings. Therefore, he plays close attention to the importance that love+power, humanism, reflection, caring, and voice has on social transformation.
