M. Francyne Huckaby

M. Francyne Huckaby is Associate Dean of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Texas Christian University and Professor of Curriculum Studies in the College of Education at Texas Christian University. She serves as core faculty of Women and Gender Studies, Africana and African American Studies, and Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies, and was formerly the Director of the Center for Public Education. She works (as pedagogue, curricularist, and scholar) to create openings and spaces for antioppressive discourses and practices, and is most interested in spaces where divergent worldviews coexist. These, she argues, are sites of power relations that are educational and political. Her scholarship on community organizing and resistance to neoliberal education reform puts filmmaking to work as a form of inquiry and making public—publicaré—research and sites of resistance and struggle.

Dr. Huckaby’s books include Researching Resistance: Public Education after Neoliberalism (2019) with its companion website scalar.usc.edu/works/publiceducation and Making Research Public in Troubled Times: Pedagogy, Activism, and Critical Obligations (2018). Her also work appears in International Review of Qualitative Research, Qualitative Inquiry, International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, Educational Philosophy and Theory, and Journal of Curriculum Theorizing. She has chapters in Womanish Ways: Renderings at the Intersection of Race, Gender and Curriculum Theorizing, Promiscuous Feminist Methodologies in Education: Engaging Research Beyond Gender, Handbook of Public Pedagogy, and Duoethnography: Dialogic Methods for Social, Health, and Educational Research. Her honors include the Claudia V. Camp Faculty Research and Creative Activity Award, the TCU Deans’ Teaching Award, TCU Mortar Board Preferred Professor, Straight for Equality from Fort Worth’s PFLAG chapter, and American Educational Research Association Outstanding Dissertation (Qualitative Research).
