She is the faculty founder of Research Advocacy in Critical Education (R.A.C.E.) a collaborative think tank that brings together local community activists, educators, students and community members in the pursuit for racial and social justice in education. Her research focuses on race and ethnic studies in education with a theoretical focus on critical race theory, critical whiteness studies, critical pedagogy and feminism of color.
