Leadership Development for an Equitable World

Publications & Projects


I encourage you to explore the following research efforts in publications and projects in more depth as they directly relate to my career efforts . 

Rooted and Radiant: Women's Narratives of Leadership

I am excited to highlight the book project, Rooted and Radiant: Women's Narratives of Leadership, published in Fall 2023. This project was born from the students in the CWC Leadership Scholars program - who spoke brilliant ideas reframing dominant narratives of leadership and shared powerful stories about their own understanding of being leaders in our world. I felt a deep desire to have these stories shared to a broader audience and believed there were more stories to be heard.

I gathered a collective of 14 leadership educators to be co-researchers and authors for a book on women's narratives of leadership. We collected narratives from women about their understandings and stories of leadership at six different research sites - including an assignment and call from students in the CWC Leadership Scholars program.
 
As a research team, we co-analyzed themes from across the six research sites and identified connections across chapters to weave the concepts from the project together. This made our final outcome a nuanced and unique version of the "edited" book.

At the end of the 2 year collaborative project, 18 authors and 39 narrative authors are part of the book (sixteen of which are CWC Scholars!). I cannot speak to how this labor of love directly relates to my role as faculty director and teaching assistant professor for the CWC Leadership Scholars. It was born because of the intertwined, beautiful web of my role across teaching within, service across, and research from the program.

Please enjoy a draft version of the first chapter of the book, which gives a more in-depth story of its inception and an overview of the chapters throughout:

A Space to Breathe & Grow: A Women & Leadership Program Operates as a Counterspace at a Predominantly White Institution for First-Generation Women of Color

This publication in the Journal of First Generation College Students offers a case study on a women and leadership program as a Counterspace for first-generation, Women of Color at a Predominately White Institution (PWI). Co-authored with Dr. Lauren Contreras (former CWC Scholars Program Coordinator) and Dr. Michele Tyson from DU's Higher Education department. This project was close to our hearts and gave a deeper context to the work of the CWC Leadership Scholars Program through a lens of critical race feminism (CRF) qualitative inquiry.

The (White) Elephant in the Room: Teaching Inclusive Leadership within Predominately White vs. Predominately People of Color Cohorts. 

A comparative qualitative case study of students in the two leadership minor programs through analysis of students' written work and reflexive journaling from me as the instructor. This work has been published. It has been a significant learning process in considering the distinctions between an affinity-group space vs. a traditional leadership program. I've deeply reflected on the influences of whiteness in my teaching practice due to this research study.
