Having a say and ownership in places that matter
At each major stage of doctoral student Ja’Nya Banks’ academic journey, pivotal events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, book bans, and the politicizing of classroom lessons, have served as reminders that her educational research on race, culture and policy is more important than ever.
