Biography
Dr. Ramos’ research examines the experiences of historically marginalized populations in Higher Education from an equity and social justice lens. Thus, she studies issues at the intersection of race, class, and gender, within the normative environments of institutions of higher learning, and the sociopolitical, economic, and cultural contexts within which they exist. Her work has been presented at annual national meetings of the Association for the Study of Higher Education, NASPA, and the American Educational Research Association and appears in journals including JDHE, JHHE, ASHE Higher Education Report Series, JCOTR, and JCSCORE, among others.
