NEW Project: Improving Gender Equity in Schools with Title IX
I am currently recruiting participants for a community education project during the 2023-24 school year -- EXTENDED through fall 2024! If you are a middle or high school teacher or school administrator in Colorado working to support gender equity in schools and want support educating your student body or staff on Title IX - let me know! Check out this slide show and then complete the interest form. This project is made possible by the University of Colorado Timmerhaus Ambassadors program.

Free Speech in Pk-20 classrooms (2019-2020)
I surveyed and interviewed classroom teachers and university faculty about their experiences with free speech or controversial "speech acts" in their classroom and learning spaces since 2015. I used this data to develop a series of online modules for K-12 and higher education professionals. This project started as part of my fellowship with the National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement in 2018.

Title IX coordinators in K-12 schools in the #MeToo Era (2018)
This project started by interviewing a small group of Title IX coordinators about their perceptions of and preparedness for this role in their school district. We have completed a national survey of Title IX coordinators to see if the findings from our pilot study are reflected in a larger sample of professionals. Publications:
