Dr. Miguel Casar Rodriguez
Miguel Casar Rodriguez
Miguel Casar Ph. D. is Assistant Professor of Qualitative Research at the University of Alabama. He is an activist scholar with expertise in critical qualitative research and educational justice. Compelled by a belief in the transformative power of education and the imperative to put research in the service of social change, Miguel works at the nexus of critical qualitative methodologies, social foundations of education, and justice. His scholarship explores how research can contribute to a collective praxis through which marginalized communities and those resisting oppression can ask critical questions about our realities, build power, and become protagonists of history as we imagine, author and cultivate just and humanizing futures. Methodologically, his research and movement work draw from and are in dialogue with the critical ethnographic, the participatory action, and the decolonizing research traditions. Miguel earned his Ph. D. from UCLA and served as the Dean’s postdoctoral research associate at the University of Southern California.
