Dr. Zoe Higheagle Strong conducts research on social, cognitive, socioeconomic and cultural factors that influence youths’ identity, safety and learning in academic environments. Her overall research goals are 1) to identify positive strategies to support students from diverse and low socioeconomic backgrounds who experience perceived threats (e.g., peer aggression/bullying, injustice, racism) and resource barriers in school, and 2) to advance culturally sustaining/revitalizing educational research specific to Native American tribes/villages and peoples.
