My academic research includes educational ethics, higher education policy, and the aims of higher education. I have a specific interest in exploring institutional responses to injustice through formal and informal policies and practices.
My studies focus on John Dewey, progressive education and education as a practice of freedom, moral dimensions of teaching and learning, and ethical and political implications of teaching for teachers under oppressive contexts.
I study the challenges the digital age poses to education, including misinformation in social media, and the influence of algorithms (and the companies that built and control them) on our epistemic practices and democratic processes. I believe and defend the idea that education ought make for better thinkers, as shown in a propaganda resilient public.
Values and aims of education; history of teachers and educational leadership; teaching in a pluralistic/democratic world.
Jamie’s research centers on competing aims of higher education and ethical considerations that arise when those aims conflict. Her recent work tackles issues of institutional legitimacy, exploitation, justification, and consent in higher education, drawing on her interests in social and political philosophy, higher education, and philosophy of education.
Historical and philosophical perspectives on law, education, and race particularly the construction and promulgation of legal education vs. generalized civic education regarding the law - what does an average citizen know about the law, how, why, and to what end.
Kyle’s primary research focuses on exploring the history of gender and sexuality within education and uncovering how attitudes and perceptions surrounding these themes have evolved over time.

I'm interested in injustices of epistemic, systemic, and structural nature. Exploring how these injustices impact our lives, especially as they relate to identity; pursuing these interests through coursework and volunteer work.

My primary interest seeks the aim(s) of primary and secondary education in the U.S., with attention towards racial, social, and distributive justice. Within this context, I hope to contribute to discussions around educational ethics, public policy, relationships between families, students, and schools, and how all of this is applied in schools.
I am broadly interested in educational ethics, critical pedagogy, and international comparative education in relation to K-12 classroom practices for justice-oriented educators and teacher education in the United States and abroad.
My research examines the irreducible core of education: the encounter between tutor and pupil. I am interested in how French theorists from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to René Girard interpret the asymmetry of their relation, how theological categories such as Revelation and Incarnation illuminate their functions, and whether democratic desires undermine their bond.
Tess (she/her) strives to cultivate critical consciousness in education through interdisciplinary research, collaborative pedagogy, writing, and experiential learning. Her scholarship is focused on the role of education in addressing and normalizing death, mortality, and grief.
