Research

The Education department faculty are actively involved in research. 

Professor Mike James' research and writing involve the history and philosophy of schooling especially as it connects to the twentieth century and the civil rights movement. He firmly believes that education and the role teachers play in reconstructing culture are of paramount importance. His most recent book, The Conspiracy of the Good: Civil Rights and the Struggle for Community in Two American Cities, 1875-2000 is principally about the educational policy and practice that has marked the phenomenal expansion of the American school since the Civil War. 

Associate Professor Sandy Grande's current research examines the intersections between critical theory and American Indian Intellectualism. Her approach is profoundly inter- and cross-disciplinary, and has included the integration of critical, feminist and Marxist theories of education with the concerns of American Indian and environmental education.
