He also is interested in the strategies educators use to facilitate these dialogues and what they learn about themselves in the process. Most recently, his work explores student activism, as well as how black educators work to heal from racial battle fatigue. His work is published in different venues, including the Journal of College Student Development, The Review of Higher Education, Race Ethnicity and Education, and Teachers College Record.
