Dr. Wilson’s research interests are primarily centered around two areas: (1) Cross-cultural/multicultural issues among persons with disabilities and (2) privilege based on phenotype (e.g., skin color, gender) in the United States. Committed to the ideals of research, teaching, and service, he has been honored with several service and research awards including the Researcher of the Year Award from the National Council of Rehabilitation Education (April 2012), the Virgie Winston-Smith Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by the National Association of Multicultural Rehabilitation Concerns (2013) and the James F. Garrett Distinguished Career in Rehabilitation Research Award, presented by the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association (2014). As a professor, he routinely teaches undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.
