Research Discipline/Bio
Deanne Green is a student in the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Curriculum & Teaching program. Her research interest includes Native American and Black-Indigenous studies. Her investigation focuses on the educational experiences of Black-Indigenous American college students. This work utilizes the methodology of Indigenous Storywork through narrative inquiry to curate life-histories. The emancipatory nature embedded in her research promotes underrepresented counter-stories as salient knowledge in developing curriculum, teaching practices, and higher education institutions. As a graduate research assistant in the Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study, she worked with the Lenape Center. The "Learning in Lenapehoking: Beyond Land Acknowledgments to a Transformational Indigenous Praxis," is an ongoing multi-faceted curriculum development project that fosters Lenape nation sovereignty and futurity in educational spaces.
