Dr. Dayamudra Dennehy EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Grassroots Dalit educators and me

In May 2021 I received my doctorate in Educational Leadership with a focus on Equity and Social Justice from San Francisco State University.

My 3-year research process culminated in a narrative inquiry collaboration with 8 grassroots Dalit educators from an alternative learning that I founded in south India in 2008.
