Felicia M. Mitchell於2016年8月加入亞利桑那州立大學社會工作學院（School of Social Work at Arizona State University）。Mitchell致力於為所有受壓迫、被邊緣化和少數族群爭取社會正義。她積極倡導在非裔、原住民與有色人種（BIPOC）社群中促進環境與健康公平。她的主要研究興趣聚焦於健康的社會決定因素（包括生態決定因素），以及這些因素對原住民族健康與福祉的影響。
為呼應社會工作領域中的「應對變遷環境的社會回應」大挑戰，Mitchell的研究致力於推動公共領域和政策制定對環境變遷及環境種族主義之社會與人類學層面的重視與回應。她運用「攝影聲音法」（Photovoice），這是一種以社區為基礎的參與式研究方法，與社區與組織合作，共同關注其所認定的健康與生態議題。Mitchell的第二研究方向則著重於透過批判性反思與參與，推動社會工作教育的進步，致力於拆解學術界中的反黑人情結與定居殖民標準。她以批判視角檢視教學與課程標準，提升對歷史上被排除群體在課堂中的真實呈現，並倡議消除壓迫性的社會工作教育與研究實踐。
Felicia M. Mitchell joined the School of Social Work at Arizona State University in August 2016. Mitchell is committed to social justice for all oppressed, marginalized, and minoritized peoples. She advocates for the advancement of environmental and health equity in Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Her primary research interests focus on social determinants of health (which include ecological determinants) and their impact on Indigenous health and well-being. In support of Social Work Grand Challenge to Create Social Responses to a Changing Environment, Mitchell's work seeks to promote public and policy responsiveness to the social and anthropological dimensions of environmental change and environmental racism. Mitchell uses Photovoice, a community-based participatory research method, to partner with communities and organizations around group-identified health and ecological concerns.

Mitchell's secondary line of scholarship focuses on advancing social work education through critical reflection and engagement that seeks to dismantle anti-Black sentiments and settler-colonial standards in academia. Using a critical lens, she examines teaching and curriculum standards to increase accurate representations of historically excluded populations in the classroom and advocates for the eradication of oppressive social work education and research practices.

Dr. Shanondora Billiot (United Houma Nation) 是亞利桑那州立大學（ Arizona State University）的助理教授。在取得博士學位之前，Dr. Billiot從事社會工作，專注於災後基層社區發展及聯邦健康政策的分析。她的研究獲得外部資助，並運用混合方法探討如何應對全球環境變遷暴露對健康結果的影響，特別考慮原住民特有因素，如關係世界觀與文化延續。作為一位因環境變遷而多次經歷災難與「家園」喪失的原住民女性，她致力於確保社區成員能在影響其社區的政策制定與研究中擁有發聲權。她的長期目標是推動一場更深層次的生態運動，將原住民與其他知識體系納入，恢復人類與環境健康之間的平衡。Dr. Billiot也將其研究融入社會服務角色。她共同領導由社會工作學院發起的「應對變遷環境的社會回應」大挑戰網絡。此外，她是國家科學、醫學與工程學院旗下墨西哥灣研究計劃的「社區參與與評估委員會」成員。她在聖路易斯華盛頓大學取得社會工作博士學位，並曾是耶魯大學亨利·羅伊·克勞德訪問博士研究員。
Dr. Shanondora Billiot (United Houma Nation) is an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University. Before earning a doctoral degree, Dr. Billiot practiced social work in post-disaster grassroots community development and analyzing federal health policies. Her research is externally funded and employs mixed methods to explore how to address the impacts of global environmental change exposure on health outcomes, considering indigenous-specific factors like relational worldview and cultural continuity. As an Indigenous woman who has experienced repeated disasters and loss of “home” through environmental changes, she is committed to ensuring community members have a voice in policies enacted and research conducted in their communities. Her long-term goal is to contribute to the more profound ecological movement that incorporates Indigenous and other knowledges to restore the balance between human and environmental health.  Dr. Billiot brings her research into her service roles. She co-leads the network for the Creating Social Responses to a Changing Environment Grand Challenge led by the Academy of Social Workers. She is also a Member of the Community Board for Engagement and Evaluation of the Gulf Research Program within the National Academies of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering. She earned a PhD in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis and was a Henry Roe Cloud visiting doctoral fellow at Yale University.
