Dr. Yehyang Lee is an Assistant Professor of Inclusive Special Education in the School of Education at Syracuse University. A first-generation immigrant scholar, she examines the intersectional oppressions faced by students at the crossroads of disability, race, language, culture, and other social markers. Her research seeks to challenge systemic invisibility and foster the transformative agency of students with disabilities experiencing homelessness through collaborative research-practice partnerships. As a teacher educator, she is dedicated to preparing future educators to serve as historical actors and changemakers within the public education system.
