Bistodeau <br />Research Interests <br />My research interests revolve around understanding the role Foucault's notions of power and <br />avowal play in social movements, and in situations that call for social justice (i.e. abuse, assault, <br />racism, etc.). I also research situations in education regarding learning styles, communication <br />patterns, and state and national educational policies. I believe that there is a connection between <br />the lack of power some individuals have and their implied social standing, and a connection <br />between the communication process and the success and individual experiences in life (i.e. social <br />status, willingness to be an active citizen, perception of representation, education level),I also <br />believe that understanding power/power dynamics in the classroom can help one navigate and <br />negotiate classroom management with students and colleagues. <br />Research <br />Publications <br />Bistodeau, K.
