Research Interests
Niralee’s research explores the role of schools as places in which issues of social capital, cultural capital, power, and identity influence systemic inequities for students and educators. The majority of her work centers on providing under-represented students with equitable access to educational resources and supports in order to address the ever-widening opportunity gap in education. A particular area of focus is on ways in which educator preparation programs prepare candidates to engage in culturally and linguistically responsive instruction.
