Dr. Corey W. Johnson, Department of Counseling and Human Development Services

Dr. Johnson’s qualitative inquiry (ethnography and collective memory work) focuses attention on non-dominant populations in the cultural contexts of leisure, providing important insight into the discriminatory practices and experiences that marginalized people often encounter in mainstream leisure settings. He sees this research as complimentary to both his classroom instruction and his professional service, and uses advocacy, activism, civic-engagement, service-learning and community partnerships to create unique learning opportunities for individuals and institutions. This synergy is particularly relevant as it increases the quality, level, and number of services offered in a given community. His scholarship has been published in journals both in and outside of Recreation and Leisure Studies and he has received grant funding to create a collaborations between faculty in Recreation and Leisure Studies, Counseling Psychology and two state agencies (Georgia State Corrections and Athens-Clarke County Schools), to assess and meet the needs of their staff in relation to creating safe environments for LGBTQ identity development for youth.

Dr. Stephanie Jones is Associate Professor in the Department of Elementary and Social Studies Education where she teaches undergraduate, masters, and doctoral level students in areas as diverse as social class and education, feminist perspectives in elementary education, place-based education, and teaching for social justice. Her research is focused on the intersections of race, social class, and gender with literacy education, identity construction, and school engagement and she attempts to represent research in creative, moving ways inspired by fiction, memoir, film, and personal experiences in the world. Stephanie has received a number of awards for her scholarship including the international Gender and Education Early Career Researcher Award and the Spencer Foundation Exemplary Dissertation Award. She has written two books, Girls, social class, and literacy: What teachers can do to make a difference (2006) and The reading turn-around: A five part framework for differentiated instruction (co-authored in 2009), and is author of many articles in journals such as Feminist Teacher, Changing English, Anthropology and Education Quarterly, Pedagogies, Reading Research Quarterly, Rethinking Schools, and Language Arts.
