Presentations

Section Oerview:

This page features a selection of my scholarly talks, academic presentations, and public panels from 2021 to 2024. My presentations reflect the core themes of my research, race, disability, critical pedagogy, and educational justice, while engaging diverse audiences across national conferences, HBCU symposia, research associations, and community-centered events.

These talks demonstrate how I extend my scholarship into dialogue with educators, researchers, psychologists, and policy stakeholders. They also show my commitment to sharing research in accessible, action-oriented formats, whether through invited panels, national peer-reviewed conferences, or virtual forums centering Black student experiences.
