Introducing New Faculty: Marlon James

Dr. Marlon C. James is an Assistant Professor of Teaching and Learning at Loyola University Chicago. He earned a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on urban and multicultural education from Texas A&M University (2008) as the 2005 PhD Diversity Research Fellow.  He took his B.S. and M.S. in Sociology from Illinois State University as the first recipient of the Future Professor Scholarship sponsored by Parkland College. Currently Dr. James’ teaching, service, and research center on urban leadership and educator development through the application of social justice and multicultural education praxis.  Additionally, Dr. James focuses on meeting the academic and social needs of urban male students, transforming school and classroom cultures to meet the needs of minoritized youth, and supporting families in creating educational environments in their homes with his P.O.W.E.R. Hour curriculum.  Dr. James’ authentic approach to urban education is born from his experiences in a single parent family that overcame poverty, drug abuse, shelters, gangs, and community violence on the South Side of Chicago with the support of family, community mentors and educators.
