Bio

Kelly R. Allen, Ph.D earned her B.S. in Urban Social Studies Education, M.A. in Urban Social Studies Education, and PhD in Urban Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Guided by perspectives grounded in critical race theory and trap feminism, Kelly’s research examines hip-hop education as a liberatory praxis. Ultimately, Kelly aims to illuminate the pervasiveness of anti-Blackness in education and center the experiences and perspectives of Black students, teachers, and communities.
