Stephanie’s research engages the intersections of social class, gender, and race with language, literacies, and educational equity with a particular interest in social class and poverty. A priority for the findings and implications of her scholarship is to understand how traditionally marginalized students and families can be better served in schooling institutions through powerful, transformative practices aimed at social justice. She purposefully works across disciplines (education, sociology, critical psychology, anthropology, moral philosophy) to gain nuanced readings of curricular content, student-teacher-family practices, identity construction, and pedagogies. Her preferred methodologies for such interdisciplinary work include critical feminist ethnography, teacher research, longitudinal qualitative case studies, and narrative analysis.
Stephanie has received numerous awards for her scholarship including the Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, the Spencer Foundation Exemplary Dissertation Award, the Garvin Distinguished Dissertation Award from the University of Cincinnati, the Outstanding Dissertation Award from Division G of the American Educational Research Association, and the Gender and Education Association Early Career Researcher Award.
