  Biography
Dr. Rhonda Baynes Jeffries began her higher education career at the community college level assisting adults in basic education and GED preparation. She has served in the capacity of minority recruitment coordinator at the university level, and prior to joining the University of South Carolina, was on faculty at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. There she taught and directed research in the masters program in cultural foundations and the doctoral program in urban education. Currently, she teaches in the area of curriculum studies with a focus on helping educators and various community agents understand the links between curriculum and culture using qualitative research methodologies. Her research interests include understanding the educational experiences of marginalized people, and her work often examines educational phenomena through a performance theory lens.
