Our fellows and faculty members continue to break the mold with their innovative and expansive research. With a shared goal of creating a more equitable higher education landscape that informs all that we do, our team continues to produce research of the highest caliber that reaches beyond academia, creating a positive impact and engaging the public in creative ways.
My dissertation is based on what happens when a principal not only tells her students that they matter, but shows them by tirelessly and holistically investing in their well-being, which ultimately impacts their educational attainment.

Many of our recent graduates have produced research that is directly connected to the public good. Our new Executive Director, Adashima Oyo, recently defended her dissertation. Her research examined application, enrollment and graduation trends for Black and Latinx students at schools of public health in the United States.
Other examples of such crucial dissertation work include Jessica Murray’s work concerning the MTA, “Self-Determination in Transportation: The Route to Social Inclusion for People with Disabilities,” and Jesse Fredlund’s “Climate Change and the Ancestors: Rain, Gender and Politics in an African Water Catchment.” Former fellow Shaun Lin’s research interests include immigrant communities, food and foodways, and abolition geography.
