Trae is a 3rd year doctoral student in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Texas at Austin. where he previously earned B.A.s in Philosophy and Psychology, as well as an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership and Policy. Born and raised in the Río Grande Valley of South Texas, Trae's experiences growing up through traditional public schools and teaching in a charter school inform his approach to use critical methodologies and theories to interrogate the ways education reforms may disparately structure the experiences of students, families, and folks impacted by schools. He is particularly interested in examining how cultural discourses reify and/or (re)construct racialized, classed, and gendered subjectivities for students within schools. His background in philosophy influences his view on the importance of uplifting conversation on ways of knowing in and beyond the research process.
