Current Work
Liane conducts research that explores how high schools and colleges can expand opportunity for racially and economically minoritized students using qualitative and mixed methodologies. Her most recent projects explore how high school teachers define and make sense of the term "People of Color" and how their perceptions relate to possibilities for coalition building across racial/ethnic groups. Liane is also working with public, rural university leadership on a college campus to create systemic approaches to advancing at-promise student success.
