Prof. Eboni Zamani-Gallaher was recently featured in a podcast episode from the university's Center for Social and Behavioral Science about why community colleges are more important now than ever.
CSBS team members Brent Roberts and Da Yeon Eom spoke with Zamani-Gallaher, professor in the Department of Education Policy, Organization & Leadership and director of the oldest community college research hub in America, the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL). Dr. Zamani-Gallaher leads a critical conversation on how community colleges are a promising springboard for economic opportunity, but also how they are a reflection of the unspoken racial and ethical challenges existing in society. The group discusses what is needed for higher ed to contribute to anti-racism work and encourage more equitable student outcomes.
