Candidate Statement
In facilitating Retired Faculty Seminars, I loved the stimulating conversations with the array of faculty from across the campus. However, my leadership experience has been in my national association. My scholarly work was geared toward describing oppressive practices through my research on the politics of education, qualitative methodology, gender, policy and social justice . From teaching in secondary education, then professorships at University of Pennsylvania, then Vanderbilt, then UNC, and to supervising interns for leadership positions, I have rather cynical views of leadership in educational settings. Still, I can replace cynicism with advocacy.
My goals center on my above mentioned areas of expertise.
