AREAS OF RESEARCH

Scholarly Activity

 

His research is focused on two distinct yet interconnected topics. In this work she explores the narrative lifeworlds of both preservice and in-service teachers and leaders as well as women in leadership both in K-12 and postsecondary contexts. His most recent work examines the ways in which female postsecondary leaders conceptualize their experiences within the academy. He is also interested in the ways in which preservice teachers conceptualize their roles as teacher leaders and the organizational narratives that shape leadership within K-12 and postsecondary education. His work has been published in education, student affairs and leadership journals.
