Dr. Syeed’s research cited in the Washington Post

Dr. Esa Syeed’s research on gentrification in D.C. public schools is cited in the recent Washington Post article, As cities gentrify and schools diversify, PTOs grapple to ensure all parent voices are heard (Sep.20).

The article references findings from Dr. Syeed’s article, There Goes the PTA: Building Parent Identity, Relationships, and Power in Gentrifying Schools, published in Equity & Excellence in Education. The article focuses on how organizers seek to support parents of color in gentrifying schools where they face various forms of marginalization and exclusion.
