Leigh Patel Publishes New Book

Leigh Patel, a professor in the University of Pittsburgh School of Education’s Department of Educational Foundations, Organizations and Policy, has published her new book titled, “No Study Without Struggle: Confronting Settler Colonialism in Higher Education.”

Patel has focused on freedom struggles for decades.
