Roland Mitchell, Assistant Professor in the Higher Education Administration program, joined the ELRC faculty in 2005 upon completion of his PhD from The University of Alabama in Educational Research. His dissertation is entitled Pedagogy, history, and culture: How professors think about race in their classrooms. His primary research interests include the impact of historical and communal knowledge on pedagogy, an exploration of the understandings that allow educators to provide service to students from different cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds, and the theorization of racial identity as it generally relates to collegiate experiences.
