Dr. Taylor’s teaching, scholarship, and service is multicultural and multi-contextual in nature and is situated in the field of leadership and education. Attempting to understand how populations of color and other marginalized communities develop attitudes, motivations, and strategies to be successful in various cultural and institutional contexts, her current research focuses on improving educational leadership - formal and community-based - to create equitable educational environments, with a particular focus on students, families, and communities who have been historically marginalized in education. She teaches a variety of courses in the Educational Leadership program, including Leadership as Self, Leadership in Organizations, Quantitative Research, and Participatory Action Research.
