Hi, I'm Meagan. I'm an Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University with expertise in justice-centered school leadership.

My research interests center around social justice and activism in educational settings, including school leader, student, teacher, community, and researcher activism. I see each of these forms of activism as essential, interconnected strategies for promoting social, economic, and environmental justice for children and communities within an educational ecosystem.

For the past several years my research has focused on justice-centered school leadership practices. My most recent project examined justice-centered leadership practice across seven marketized districts in the U.S. to investigate how school choice policies shape leaders’ practice and how leaders can leverage justice work in response to market pressure. I am also strongly interested in investigations of the preparation of justice-centered leaders and the redesign of preparation programs around social justice.
