Tia Sherèe Gaynor, an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science, participated in an hour-long, panel discussion on WVXU’s Cincinnati Edition on Thursday, June 25.  Among the topics discussed were upcoming election, COVID-19 and race relations.   

“It seems like we're just in this uncomfortable and complicated space where we're fighting for so many different things,” Gaynor told WVXU.  

Gaynor’s research focuses on issues related to social (in)justice, cultural competency and social equity within a U.S. and global context, particularly as it relates to underrepresented and marginalized populations.
