Jesse Ford, PhD

Jesse R. Ford, PhD, serves as an Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. My research uses culturally responsive frameworks to explore the historical and social-cultural influences of race and gender, with an emphasis on Black men in the academy. More specifically, he employs qualitative methodologies to tackle inequity in education, particularly within the socialization experiences of underrepresented students, faculty, and their pathways in higher education. I use a multitude of research collection techniques, including individual in-depth interviews, focus groups, and observations to understand the experience of these populations.
