She was advised by Julie Posselt. Currently, Aireale Rodgers is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the HEAL Project. She will continue to build a program of research using sociocultural learning theories and critical theories of racialization to examine how people and organizations learn.
