What's New...
Ellen is on sabbatical for the 2024-2025 academic year. She is continuing work developing an instrument to measure faculty racial ally behaviors, stemming from the NSF Advance grant she worked on for 6 years and is developing a related measure of white student affairs professionals’ racial ally behaviors. She also is beginning a study of the impact of staff/faculty affinity groups at colleges and universities. Her ongoing research projects include papers on student leadership/activism/resistance related to ableism in higher education and hourly/classified staff members’ resistance to structurally sexist universities.
