Tanya J. Middleton

Tanya J. Middleton's work focuses on the experiences of Black students and families within gifted and talented education, school counseling, and mental health services. Her research examines racial identity, cultural competence, and equity issues affecting Black youth and families, including underrepresentation in advanced academic programs, race-related trauma, and access to counseling and substance-use treatment. Much of this work aims to inform how counselors, educators, and school-based mental health professionals can better serve Black students, particularly those identified as gifted or twice-exceptional.
