My work focuses on community development through strengthening school-university-community partnerships. I encourage critical analyses of media representations of groups and individuals and their effects on public perceptions. My scholarship has emphasized research on relationships between spirituality and civic engagement and on how church participation can enhance leadership development among diverse populations.
