Who I am

I’m the Presidential Term Professor of Communication and adjunct Professor of American Ethnic Studies and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington, Seattle. I’m also the founding and acting director of the University of Washington’s Center for Communication, Difference, and Equity and creator of the Interrupting Privilege Program. You might find me working as Associate Dean of Equity & Justice in Graduate Programs in the University of Washington’s Graduate School. You might also find me connecting with a variety of organizations who want to grow their race and equity skills. I write books and articles about race and inequality. I am currently writing a book entitled Combating Racial Exhaustion: Critically Communicating Race During the Rise and Fall of DEI.
