Dr. Brittany Anderson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Middle, Secondary, and K12 Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Her work focuses on urban education, equity, and the needs of historically marginalized students, particularly Black girls in STEM. She co-develops university-school-community partnerships to address systemic inequities in gifted education and teaching practices.
Her research emphasizes the lived experiences of gifted Black girls and women, challenging traditional gifted identification norms.

Dr. Anderson’s scholarship includes manuscripts, book chapters, and a forthcoming co-edited book (2023).
