In this episode of Inquiry Oasis, host Jeffrey Anthony talks with Dr. Ji Hong a professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Arizona's College of Education. The central theme centers around Dr. Hong's research on multiple marginalized and underrepresented teachers. We explore the challenges these teachers confront, emphasizing the role of intersectional identities in shaping both their personal and professional experiences. Dr. Hong underscores the necessity of qualitative research methodologies in capturing the depth and nuance of these lived experiences. By doing so, she argues for a reevaluation of educational systems to better support and understand marginalized teachers.
