Faculty for Wellness
Danielle Hodge, PhD
Dr. Danielle Hodge, PhD, employs a critical race theoretical approach to identity, culture, and language. In particular, she is concerned with how systems of oppression and marginalization inform the identities, discursive practices, and experiences of African Americans. To advance theoretically robust and culturally grounded knowledge about African American life and language worlds, her research agenda is guided by the following questions: How can communication concepts and theories (i.e., discourse analysis) further illuminate African American culture, experiences, and struggle; and, how can African American Studies theories inform the ways we interpret and examine communication? Importantly, she explores how Communication and African American Studies can be bridged to examine how systems of oppression impact marginalized groups and are discursively reproduced, maintained and resisted.
Adriana Alvarez, PhD
Dr. Adriana Alvarez has a PhD in Educational Equity and Cultural Diversity from the University of Colorado Boulder, and a M.Ed. in Bilingual Education from the University of Texas at El Paso. Adriana was a bilingual teacher in the border community of El Paso, Texas for 11 years before beginning her doctoral program at CU Boulder. She is currently Assistant Professor in the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education program at the School of Education and Human Development at CU Denver. Her research interests center on biliteracy development and pedagogy, and family-school partnerships with a focus on equity-oriented and strength-based approaches in Latinx communities.
