About
Rachel Radina, Ph.D., is currently an Assistant Professor of K-12 Educational Leadership in the College of Education at Eastern Michigan University. She has worked in communities and schools for the past fourteen years and is committed to anti-racist work in solidarity with students, teachers and community partners. She graduated with a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership with a focus on Curriculum and Cultural studies from the Department of Educational Leadership at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 2015. During her time as a faculty member at Miami University she taught classes designed to help students understand systems of power, privilege and oppression and to understand their role in working towards positive social change. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are at the core of her curriculum, pedagogy, research and scholarship.
Current Work
My scholarship focuses on projects designed to share information about issues of inequity in communities and schools, as well as the ways in which we might address these issues. I have upcoming projects that include work with youth in schools, diversity curriculum development for professionals, restorative justice practices, and creating/providing wellness programs for my doctoral students.
