Research Areas:
Dr. Perry's research and work in schools has recently focused on the development of a theory of practice for African American Achievement and educational environments that normalize high achievement for Black students. She has worked with schools and school systems throughout the country. Her areas of expertise include African American language, teacher preparation, school/college/ community partnerships and culturally responsive teaching practices. She is working on a research study that examines the relationship of the "organizational habitus" of a school or program to the construction of social identities of achievement by African American children and youth.
