Scholar • Researcher • Storyteller

Faith D. Northern

Doctoral Candidate, Sociology of Education | NYU Steinhardt

I study how antiblackness shapes the educational experiences and identities of Afro-Caribbean students in U.S. higher education. My work bridges research, storytelling, and public scholarship, centering the voices of Black students whose experiences are too often misrecognized or unheard.

Through community-engaged methods, I seek to transform how we understand belonging, identity, and resistance across the Black diaspora — translating evidence into action and connection.
