Please join the University of Arizona College of Education in congratulating doctoral student in the higher education program, Brenda Anderson Wadley, in being named the 2023 National Academy of Education Dissertation Fellow.
Brenda is a Ph.D. candidate in the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Arizona. Drawing on critical qualitative methodologies, her research scrutinizes and interrogates structural oppression in higher education that impedes the success of minoritized communities. Informed by her prior experience supporting survivors of campus sexual violence as a campus advocate, Brenda’s dissertation examines how institutional conceptions of safety do or do not meet the needs of students with multiple marginalized identities.
Brenda says "I would like to highlight of being mentored and advised by Dr. Regina Deil-Amen and the connection of Karina also being on my dissertation committee and together how they both helped me dream big."
Congratulations, Brenda!
