Hillary Parkhouse, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning in the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Education. Her research focuses on how teacher education and professional development can support culturally relevant education and sociopolitical consciousness for teachers and students. She also studies critical civic education and global awareness for social justice.
