Dr. Aireale J. Rodgers is an Assistant Professor of Higher Education and Anna Julia Cooper Fellow in the Educational Leadership & Policy Analysis department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Rodgers is a learning scientist whose research agenda illuminates how people’s everyday (mis)understandings about race and racism shape learning across various higher education ecologies. Most recently, she has used qualitative methods to study the racialized dimensions of faculty development programs, design and implementation of digital courseware products, graduate student socialization processes, and classroom teaching and learning to better understand how educators can facilitate learning that advances critical race consciousness for faculty and students in postsecondary institutions.
