Heidi R. Lewis

Assistant Professor
Feminist and Gender Studies

Interdisciplinary House, 205
(719)389-6081

 Heidi R. Lewis is an Assistant Professor of feminist and gender studies (FGS), as well as a core member of the race and ethnic studies faculty. Heidi has been a member of the Colorado College faculty since 2010, when she became a Riley Scholar-in-Residence for FGS. Her teaching and research focus on feminist theory and criticism, gender and sexuality, Critical Media Studies and popular culture, Critical Race Theory, Critical Whiteness Studies, Black Studies, and social justice and activism. She is currently drafting a manuscript, Canaries in the Post-Racial Coal Mine: An Examination of Narratives about Black Fathers and White Mothers, which theorizes narratives by and/or about women with black fathers and white mothers as manifestations of the ways in which women of color have problematized anti-racism and anti-sexism projects that have historically ignored and/or erased women of color. Her other research interests include mediated constructions of black gay men, hip hop culture, the ways in which black women experience and shape academia, and intellectual parenting. Heidi also serves on the Editorial Collective of The Feminist Wire, an online publication that provides sociopolitical and cultural critiques of anti-feminist, racist, and imperial politics, and is a member of the American Studies Association, Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora, Critical Ethnic Studies Association, Cultural Studies Association, National Council for Black Studies, National Women’s Studies Association, and Popular Culture/American Culture Association.

Manya Whitaker

Assistant Professor 

Education

As a developmental educational psychologist, I am comitted to investigating issues of diversity and equity in K-12 public schools. In courses such as Diversity & Equity in Education and Urban Education we examine the influence of social factors such as race, gender, language and class on school and family practices. In the Connecting Learning Across Social Settings (C.L.A.S.S.) Lab I work with one graduate and two undergraduate students to study how low income and ethnic minority parents construct their role in children's schooling.
