Research Summary
Dr. Janis writes about the multi-race/multi-cultural/cross-cultural experience, critical race
theory, curriculum in the U. S. South, educator narratives and education for social justice. She is
currently using narratives that reveal the in-betweenness of her life as a multi-race person to
problematize imbedded notions of race, gender, class, and power, which creates possibilities to
capture the contradictions and paradoxes of behind the theory and practice of multicultural and
multiracial education.
