Alyssa Dunn
Associate Professor
Department of Teacher Education
Ph.D., Emory University

Alyssa Hadley Dunn’s research centers on urban teacher education and support and the sociocultural and political contexts of urban schools, with a focus on issues of race, justice, and equity. She approaches her work with the understanding that education can represent spaces for creating a more liberatory world and that quality research critically examines the way that schools operate in just or unjust ways. Previous strands of research include teachers’ pedagogy in the wake of the 2016 presidential election; teacher morale and pedagogy; the connection between teachers’ experiences and neoliberal reforms; racial equity and teacher preparation; and teachers’ public resignation letters. At present, Dr. Dunn is working on a book about how teachers make pedagogical decisions on “days after” major events, tragedies, or instances of injustice.
