Kimberly C Harper

Bio

My goal as an educator is to create an environment that encourages students to experience education as a practice of freedom that helps them realize their own potential. In addition to my teaching experience, I have also presented extensively at conferences. As such, my goal as a presenter is to interact and educate the listening audience. My current research interests include Black maternal health and ethos, Black rhetorics of healthcare, reproductive justice and mental health and hip hop.
