Education
Dr. Manya Whitaker is an Associate Professor of Education at Colorado College. She is a developmental educational psychologist with expertise in social and political issues in education. Her courses include Urban Education, Diversity & Equity in Education, and Educational Psychology, among others. She researches the stability of teachers' diversity-related belief systems across time and settings, and how those beliefs can be intentionally disrupted and re-structured through teacher training. She is the author of Learning from the Inside-Out: Child Development and School Choice. This particular podcast is the second of an interconnected set of conversations with female scholars of color exploring tensions in the context of a series of books recently published that examine race and gender in higher education. Sitting with me here today is Dr. Manya Whitaker, an Associate Professor of Education in the Race, Ethnicity and Migration Studies Program and the co-editor of contributor to the recently published Counternarratives from Women of Color Academics.
