Oliver Tapaha, assistant professor Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, and Nathan Tanner, Ph.D. '25 EPOL, have a new paper that was published in the American Educational Research Association’s Educational Researcher journal.
Their article, "A Different Brown Story: Black Teacher Recruitment to Navajo Reservation BIA Schools During the Desegregation Era," tells the story of the black educators recruited to Navajo Nation schools in the wake of the Brown v. Board of Education decision.
Tapaha and Tanner share one former student’s story and contextualize it along with the broader history of Brown.
