Donna Y. Ford studies equity and race in education, with a particular focus on gifted and talented education, special education, and STEM learning for Black and other minoritized students. Her work examines why students of color are underrepresented in gifted programs and overrepresented in special education, and proposes culturally responsive and anti-racist approaches for educators. This research area would suit students interested in educational equity, culturally responsive teaching, and the schooling experiences of racially minoritized and gifted learners.
