Faculty Spotlight

Rose Ann Gutierrez, Ph.D., assistant professor of Equity and Diversity in Education

Dr. Gutierrez’s research is informed by a Pinay epistemology and positionality as a 1.5-generation immigrant, first-generation college student, and the only daughter of working-class Pilipino immigrants. Her critical analytical lens as a race scholar in education undergird her resolve to improve the conditions and opportunities of historically oppressed communities across the lifespan through educational research and practice. Her broader research agenda examines the relationship between knowledge, race, and social transformation in education contexts.
