I have a strong commitment to advocacy in child welfare and educational policies that ignore or do not address the specificities and subtleties of racism and cultural differences, which result in unequal and differential treatment of racialized individuals. To this end, my current research interest focuses on the social, educational, economic and cultural barriers facing racialized females and men. Another area of interest relates to the lack of Black female academics in areas of education and social work, and its impact on the creation of knowledge and the maintenance of the status quo in social work and school practices. My professional and teaching philosophy centers on a feminist analysis and incorporates an anti-racist/anti-oppressive model of practice.
