Bradley Porfilio, PhD
Professor & Director, Ed.D. Leadership
As a transformative scholar, Dr. Porfilio brings insights from several intellectual
disciplines, such as history, sociology, leadership studies, and social studies education,
to examine the sociocultural and historical forces behind unjust educational outcomes
and institutional forms of oppression. His intellectual work also unearths what policies,
pedagogies, practices, and social movements hold the potential to humanize educational
institutions, to eliminate educational disparities and to build an equalitarian society.
As a result, his research has a broad appeal to scholars, leaders, and educators.
