School to prison pipeline

Presenting on how there are racial bias and harsh punishments that are inflicted on minority students that results in the school to prison pipeline and how restorative justice is much more successful in helping change a behavior rather than harsh punishments

Block Play Supports Children’s Informal and Formal Spatial Skills

The purpose of the study was to evaluate unstructured play with blocks as a method of understanding children’s spatial skills. Children with stronger spatial skills built larger block structures, suggesting that prompting specific play themes that support complex structures may improve children\u27s broad spatial abilities. This project was presented as part of an invited research presentation at the U.S. Play Coalition in Bloomington, Indiana

Women, Race, Recovery: How Some of History’s Most Impactful Thinkers Reflect on Their Own Healing

With examples from influential women of color feminists, the essay points to some obstacles in the way to developing a true practice of recovery for women of color academics whose research brings them in continual contact with histories and enactments of harm against women and people of color. As women of color in higher education, articulating our health and healing needs in our own terms would help us clear a path to promoting ourselves as whole and healthy persons, in addition to promoting us along a career path. The essay collects reflections on health struggles from famous women of color feminists, to note trends in how their lived experiences of physical and emotional health challenges blend with their intellectual and activist work on behalf of women and people of color

Calculating the Cost: Loss and Grieving Through the Demands of Higher Education

To make it through my final year of my doctoral degree, I had to focus on my research more and my mom less. I had spent most of my life worrying and caring for my mom through her mental health struggles. In September 2017, my mom ended her life. I was pressured into returning to my academic responsibilities shortly after her death. I buried my emotions to get through it. Less than a year later, I started my career in higher education in New York immediately after submitting my dissertation, leaving myself no time to grieve or to be vulnerable. The discussions at the State of Women of Color in New York Higher Education Symposium allowed me to reflect on my trauma and grief in a new light

Synthesis of Electroactive Molecules for Redox Flow Battery Applications

The area of study will focus on researching redox batteries and identifying suitible electroactive molecules. The initial plan is to explore different types of molecules, assess their solubility and stability for use in the battery. Once the potential molecules are identified, we will determine which are best suited for optimal reactions for energy storage and conversion. Our work will involve naphthoquinone and anthraquinone derivatives. We will focus on characterizing solubility, electrochemical properties, and chemical stability, while also investigating new methods to improve the redox batteries
