Research Areas
- Dr. Wallace's interdisciplinary research uses qualitative methodologies and critical theoretical frameworks to (1) critically explore Black masculinities and Black feminisms in higher education and (2) examine how Black men in engineering develop their identities (e.g., race, gender, academic discipline). Guided by this line of inquiry, his research illuminates the impact of an academic discipline’s culture on masculine thinking and being, as well as moves scholarship and practice on Black masculinities toward an emphasis on divesting from patriarchy.
