Research Interests
Dr. Hancock's research investigates how whiteness impacts the identity, emotional health, and academic performance of teachers and students, the effect of curriculum supremacy on the intersectional identity of students, and the phenomenological reality of self in racialized contexts. More specifically, his scholarship has explored how curriculum supremacy impacts identity, achievement, mobility, and engagement in schooling and STEM, the impact of curriculum trauma on learning attitudes, and the process of navigating race and other intersectional identities in a racially marginalizing society. He has co-edited five books (two in press), numerous chapters as well as articles in top journals including the Harvard Education Review.
