Dr. Briana Bivens, (she/her) is a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Graduate Studies and an instructor. Her work focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic planning, and she collaborates directly with graduate students to envision and create more equitable and affirming educational experiences. Informed by her many years engaged in multi-issue community organizing in Georgia, Briana’s scholarship and advocacy explores community-based education, child and family care policy, and sustainability in transformative, justice-oriented social movements. Briana loves to cuddle her two sweet pups, learn new board games, and read speculative fiction that can help us imagine and create more just ways of being and living.
