Overview
The research highlighted here is connected to Dylan Paré‘s PhD dissertation work in the Learning Sciences and is ongoing. Publications will be added as they become available.
Dylan has a long history of research and activism and their dissertation research is motivated by and comes out of these experiences. Their community organizing and activist work has spanned social issues, including gender and sexuality, race, disability, animal justice, and post-secondary student affairs. Their research is theoretically influenced by years of study in critical theory, transdisciplinary and intersectional feminist and queer theory, and learning sciences theory.
