Welcome to the Identity in Sociohistorical Context (ISC@PDX) research team website.

Our work involves local community partners as well as partners outside of the Pacific Northwest...
Our team aims to collaborate with public school educators and out-of-school program providers to work toward the three goals: achieving education equity across social class and racial lines, ensuring culturally-responsive educational practice, and advancing community-driven approaches to education across the lifespan.
