Hello! I'm Ashlee

 

Ashlee B. Daniels is a doctoral candidate at Prairie View A&M University studying to receive her degree in Educational Leadership. Her research focuses on how to best accommodate Black women in higher education through the lens of Edenism, a conceptual framework that she created as a solution for best critical thinking teaching practices and strategies for students of color in higher education. Ashlee is currently working with Dr. Fred Bonner, Endowed Chair and Director of the MACH III Center at Prairie View A&M University, and Dr. Tony Talbert, Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Baylor University, on various research agendas to expand and refine her research. Ashlee’s research interests include the effects of diversity on Black women in inequitable college spaces, Black female resiliency, policy and curricular implementation for postsecondary students of color, and the articulation and manifestation of critical thinking skills by students of color at diverse institutions in higher education.
