Teaching and Research Interests

As a Part-Time Instructor, Sierra Freeman's approach to teaching is centered around creating a dynamic learning environment that emphasizes the intricate identities and intersectionalities present within the student body. By integrating concepts from Africana Studies and focusing on first-generation college students, Freeman aims to shed light on the unique experiences these students face in collegiate environments. Her use of Intersectionality and Identity Theory in her pedagogy encourages students to critically reflect on their own identities as well as the identities of their peers. This method fosters a profound understanding of the complex dynamics that influence both educational and social landscapes. Freeman believes that acknowledging these varied identities helps in nurturing a more inclusive and empathetic academic setting.
