Marshall, Brittany

Research Interests: African-Americans, students of color, girls, women, equity, social justice, math identity, math instruction, student motivation, teacher prep, professional development. middle/high school, STEM

Dissertation Project: "Racialized and Gendered Support in STEM: How Successful Mathematics Teachers Build up African American Girls"

Notice how none of her interests are actual math.

Hayes, Endia

Information Program: Sociology

Research Interests: black women, enslavement, violence, history, resistance

Dissertation Project: Freedom Struggles: A Comparative Study of Black Women and Violence

So what are you interested in? Oh I'm fascinated by enslavement and violence.

And what is your philosophy in life? Resist.

Real fucking gem that one. Don't send your kids to college unless you are hoping to fuck them up.

If I had to guess, the only way she got into a PHD program was by using the race-card, and she knows she's not good at math. The reason for her PHD Dissertation, is because everyone's too afraid of rejecting it for being complete nonsense, because they'd get fired for "being racist." That dissertation clearly has nothing to do with math.
