Assistant Professor at University of Pittsburgh
Heather
McCambly is a mixed-methods, interdisciplinary
scholar of higher education. She also studies the role of organizations in
(re)producing systemic, racial inequalities. She draws on a range of analytic
and interpretive methods to study the influence of aspiring change agents on
institutionalized racial inequities in higher education practice and policy.
She does this work with a commitment to producing knowledge that can help us,
collectively, build alternative pathways toward just futures for Black, brown, indigenous, and low-income students and
institutions over time. Constructs central to her work include racialized
organizations, institutional persistence and change, racial frames, political
development and racial backlash, and organizational sensemaking.
