Jillian Ives is an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Connecticut and a former academic advisor. Her research asks how we can approach teaching and learning in higher education classrooms in ways that advance educational equity. She examines educational equity within three interrelated streams: college instructor teaching, students’ learning experiences, and the disciplinary and organizational practices that support equitable teaching and learning. Specifically, Dr. Ives studies how college instructors learn to teach in more culturally relevant and socially just ways that center minoritized college students’ learning, and the organizational structures and professional development that support those efforts. Her research also examines how college students make sense of these types of pedagogies, and how college teachers and administrators can transform practices to create more equitable learning environments for students with minoritized identities. Collectively, her research agenda sheds light on how creating more equitable subject-matter learning in higher education—affirming, valuing, and including non-dominant ways of knowing and being—not only enhances students’ learning, but improves the discipline, academy, and broader community. Dr. Ives has published in The Journal of Higher Education, Review of Educational Research, among other outlets.
