Lance, an educational activist anthropologist, is interested in constructing community activist projects with urban youth who are racial/ethnic minorities and who live in situations of poverty. As a researcher, he has devoted the last six years of his life to studying how such populations are marginalized and excluded by the societies in which they live and what they can do to resist marginalization and transform their own lives and communities. As an activist, Lance is working with young African Americans in Tampa to create social activist projects that combine art and cultural expression, social justice education, critical pedagogy, and participatory action research in order to produce transformative knowledge that can guide positive social change.
