Research

ProfessorÌýBradley's research broadly examines the ways in which anti-Black sentiment perpetually undergirds the drivers and levers of federal, stateÌýand institutional policies across the P-20 pipeline in ways that (un)intentionally reify the social stratification of Black peoples across the diaspora.

Her work employsÌýtheories of anti-blackness,Ìýsocio-legal conceptsÌýand critical qualitative methodologies to address issues of Black education, hate speech and anti-racist inclusion on predominantly White campuses; post-secondary access facing racially minoritized community college transfer students; andÌýlegislative influence on emergent tier-one universities and HBCU-HSI institutions.
