Dr. Sasso is research-scholar with 3 distinct lines of research. He has a continuous research agenda that has evolved to address: (1) the college experience; (2) student success; and (3) educational equity across cocurricular spaces. Critical frameworks, mixed methods, and qualitative methods are utilized to interrogate these research themes. Dr. Sasso explores multiple identity development (Abes & Jones, 2013) among traditional undergraduate students through student involvement and leadership experiences such as within fraternity and sororities, interrogates issues of student persistence and university retention drawn from a culturally-informed reconceptualization of Tinto’s Academic & Social Integration Model (Guiffrida, 2003), and draws from critical multiracial theory, intersectionality, inclusive masculinities, critical whiteness studies, and border theory to explore liminality in co-curricular spaces. His most recent research explores multiracial or inclusive masculinities.
