Professor of Education Policy, UC Santa Barbara. I use (mostly) qualitative research methods to study issues of educational (in)equity for immigrant-origin youth & families.
At long last, I’m thrilled to share a new article (w/former grad student Jessica Nguyen) published in Educational Studies:

MAGA think more uneducated people is a bonus.
NEW: Last year, The Heritage Foundation called on states to pass laws that could prompt a challenge to Plyler v. Doe, which guarantees children the right to a public education regardless of immigration status. Now lawmakers in at least 5 states are doing just that. www.chalkbeat.org/2025/02/08/r...

If you're interested in school choice, racial discrimination, or NYC schools, you should read @chantalahailey.bsky.social's important new work
Excited to share my new article in @sfjournal.bsky.social ! Using a survey experiment with 995 families, I show how race shapes beliefs about school safety. White, Asian, and Latine families perceive Black schools as less safe—even when safety ratings are identical. #Education #Race

This is why all districts should be training educators on students’ and families’ rights and protocols for responding if/when ICE attempts to enter a school building. Well done CPS for preparing school leaders for dealing with the terrible state we’re in right now.

Hey Team!
Here's my paper "Doing Critical Race Theory in Perilous Times"
What started off as a critique of work arguing CRT isn't a theory turned into what I hope is now something more.
