Her research explores intergenerational language practices in African-American families and the intersections of activism, teaching, and scholarship. Pam has presented widely on culturally sustaining pedagogies, code-meshing, and dismantling systemic inequities in education. Notable workshops include sessions at the College Conference on Composition and Communication (2018) and the Congressional Black Caucus’s Annual Legislative Conference (2011).
As an educator and activist, Pam emphasizes helping trainees recognize the political dimensions of teaching.
