Teaching-Related Research Projects
I am currently working on a teaching-related research project with Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza and two undergraduate students. Supported by a grant from UC Merced's Center for Engaged Teaching and Learning, the research team developed videos for each chapter of Golash-Boza's textbook, Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach. To access the videos, click here. We are conducting a study to examine how videos help student learning.
