University of Wisconsin Madison
Ashley L. White is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the inaugural Education Fellow for Equity Access and Opportunity with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Before her appointment at UW-Madison, White served as the 2019-2020 Joseph P. Kennedy Public Policy Fellow with the Committee on Education and Labor under Chairman Robert “Bobby” C. Scott.
Before earning her Ph.D. from the University of South Florida, White taught school for 15 years. White’s research focuses on the intersectionality of ethno-racial identities and disability in P-postsecondary settings through the consideration of student and educator experiences and the policies that impact these experiences. Additionally, White invests time in working with school districts across the country to advance professional development for teachers related to special education, disability, and intersectional issues.
As a scholar and advocate, White envisions restorative policy as a way to address the historical and present inequities that persist for ethno-racially marginalized individuals with disabilities at large. Most recently, White authored AACTE's The State of Education Censorship in Institutions of Higher Ed and Implications for the Field. This report focuses on the impact of current censorship efforts on IHEs and educational stakeholders in P-postsecondary education spaces and offers recommendations for practice and advocacy.
