Eli’s research focuses on creating and understanding humanizing spaces for learners at the intersection of STEM, literacy, and the media/arts. He is particularly interested in spaces that promote racial equity and critical, compassionate relationships between educators and learners. Recently much of that work has been in the area of making, part of the larger activity of making, as context for those critical, compassionate relationships.
Eli is a former middle school teacher. He grew up in Cambridge, MA and lives there now with his family. He has conducted research with community organizations and schools in Chicago, IL and in the Greater Boston Area. He believes the golden era of hip hop was 1986-1992.
