Keynote Speaker-Dr. Stephen Santa-Ramirez
Dr. Stephen Santa-Ramirez (he/him/his) is an Assistant Professor of Higher Education within the Graduate School of Education at the University at Buffalo. His vast experiences in U.S. higher education and student affairs include work in Multicultural and LGBT+ Affairs, Residential Life and Housing Services, and Migrant Student Services. In addition to teaching at UB, Dr. Santa-Ramirez has taught for the Philadelphia Freedom Schools, Michigan State University, The University of Texas at Arlington, and Arizona State University.
Dr. Santa Ramirez's personal and professional experiences in higher education – and identity as a scholar-practitioner-activist – have played formative roles in the development of his research agenda, which centers the lives and knowledge of historically marginalized and economically neglected students. By employing critical and asset-based frameworks, his scholarship investigates campus racial climate, first-generation students' sense of belonging, college student activism and resistance, and the various ways race, ethnicity, and immigration inform the educational experiences of collegians who are Latinx and undocu/DACAmented.
