Please join the Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program & the Center for Gender and Sexuality for our next session of Behind the Publication, a behind-the-scenes workshop series on faculty research in gender and sexuality.

The series continues with Dr. Roland Sintos Coloma, Professor of Teacher Education in the College of Education. Dr. Coloma’s research and teaching focus on equity and social justice in curriculum studies, teacher education, and policy, with particular attention to the intersections of race, empire, diaspora, gender, and sexuality. His current projects include “Moments and Movements: Challenging Asian American Invisibility in Racial Justice in K-12 Education,” “Detroit STEM Education Initiative,” and “Southeast Michigan Pipeline for Next Generation of Diverse Teachers.” Dr. Coloma’s 2023 publications include “Critical race theory in schools?: The struggle for a more inclusive curriculum” and the edited volume Encyclopedia on diversity, democracy, and social justice. This presentation is entitled “Decolonizing Queer Epistemology."

NOTE: this session will be hosted over Zoom.

About the series: The central goal of this series is to offer graduate and undergraduate students a series of informal workshops where faculty encourage and demystify research by sharing their own experiences. We invite WSU faculty members to share a little about the genesis of their current or recent research. We ask them to discuss the joys and frustrations of the project; to elaborate on the decisions around the scope of the work; to assess methodological questions; to discuss writing practices; to highlight the importance of colleagues, librarians, friends, and other interlocutors more generally for their work; and to offer tips and strategies to help students through their own projects.
