A publication authored by Lori Patton Davis explores critical theories and frameworks related to higher education, student affairs, and social justice. Her work often centers on the experiences of minoritized student populations in college settings, examining issues such as race, class, gender, and their intersectional impact on access, success, and campus climate. Exemplary themes frequently addressed include critical race theory, womanism, and intersectionality as they apply to student development and institutional transformation.
Scholarly contributions in this area provide valuable insights for higher education professionals, researchers, and students seeking to understand and address systemic inequities within colleges and universities. These works promote a deeper understanding of the complexities of student experiences and contribute to developing more inclusive and equitable campus environments. Such scholarship serves as a crucial resource for fostering institutional change and promoting student success for all learners. Historically, this type of research builds upon foundational works in critical pedagogy and student development theory, adding contemporary perspectives and challenging traditional paradigms within higher education.
