This site is dedicated to the professional and academic work of Dr. Angela Dye.
Dr. Dye’s two favorite pastimes are writing and thinking. While she writes academic pieces from articles to books, she also enjoys writing poetry. Through blogging and other personal reflections, she creatively merges the two. Writing in a stream of consciousness (as with her poetry), she tackles sociopolitical and educational concepts (as with her academic writing). The end result is a style that is conversational in format yet political in spirit.
To get a sense of what is meant as conversational and political, please start reading here:
