My research interests are located in the broad field of higher education and include racial equity issues, student engagement, intercollegiate athletics, as well as diversity competence and leadership in student affairs using an explicit framework of social justice and activism. The primary objective of my research has been to interrogate the ways in which the interaction between person characteristics (e.g., identity, personal epistemologies, and culture) and characteristics of the campus environment (or events, activities) influence subsequent experiences and educational outcomes.
