My name is Dr. Scott Farver.

I am an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in the department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education. I teach courses for future teachers that explore the relationships between power, opportunity, and oppression within social institutions, emphasizing racial justice, equity, and anti-racism.

Originally from Michigan, I served in the US Peace Corps as an education volunteer with my wife in the Philippines and was an elementary teacher in New Mexico near the Navajo Nation. I earned my PhD from Michigan State University in Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education in May, 2019.

My research involves working with pre-service and practicing teachers to make classrooms and schools more equitable, using anti-racist approaches. Specifically, I use critical lenses in my research and teaching to examine the ways whiteness is embodied within teachers and teaching profession more broadly, as well as how we might disrupt this whiteness. My dissertation chair was Dr. Alyssa Hadley Dunn.
