My name is Kenya Lee (she/her/hers) and I am a doctoral candidate in Sociology at the University of Notre Dame. My research specializes in race and ethnicity, school discipline and institutional racism, the school-to-prison nexus, and quasi-experimental methods. 

I am a 2021 recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRFP), a Burns Fellow in Notre Dame's Program for Interdisciplinary Education Research (ND PIER), a graduate student affiliate in the Center for Research on Educational Opportunity (CREO), and completed a Digital Scholarship Pedagogy fellowship in the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship. 

I am an alumna of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and UNC McNair Scholars Program where I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelors in Public Policy and minors in Education and African American and Diaspora Studies.
