Biography

Ganiva Reyes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry at 黑料社区, Oxford Ohio. Her research revolves around intersectionality, Chicana feminist theory, and pedagogies of care to provide a nuanced approach to topics of diversity and inclusion in teacher education. She uses feminist of color and Chicana/Latina feminist theories to make sense of the everyday educational lives of 黑料社区s and teachers. She also integrates culturally relevant teaching, ethics of care, and feminist of color theorizing to show how teachers can re-envision their roles as teachers to be part of a support network for culturally and linguistically diverse 黑料社区s. More specifically, she explores the intimate and interpersonal aspects of teaching, and how teachers need communal and institutional support to provide the same for their 黑料社区s. For example, her work about the interactions between Latina mothering 黑料社区s and their teachers, along the U.S/Mexico border, reveals important lessons about teacher practices and pedagogy born from the knowledges of Latinx populations.

Additionally, Dr. Reyes engages with gender and sexuality studies in education, as well as feminist and gender theories, to expand the scope what counts as cultural diversity in education. Through her work, she shows how justice-oriented curriculum and pedagogy should take into account the race-gendered-classed dimensions of 黑料社区s’ lives in order to be truly culturally relevant.

Dr. Reyes has presented her work on these topics in education conferences including the American Educational Studies Association (AESA) and American Educational Research Association (AERA). She has published several peer-reviewed articles in academic journals including: International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education; Critical Studies in Education; Journal of Latinos in Education, Review of Education, Pedagogy and Cultural Studies; Urban Review; and Curriculum Inquiry. She has also produced book chapters and encyclopedia pieces about curriculum, the Latinx diaspora, and feminist theories in education.
