Greg’s interests focus on education, bilingual education, cultural preservation, cultural anthropology, and social justice issues.  Always interested in linguistics and native language preservation, Greg became involved with the Cherokee Narratives project out of a desire to contribute to the preservation of Cherokee, Cherokee culture, and efforts to advance Cherokee language instruction in classrooms.

Greg is pursuing a PhD in Educational Policy and Planning at the University of Texas at Austin.  His research focuses on the outcomes of gentrification as it impacts on traditional resident, schools, and families in Austin. 

His research and writing interests include privatization, marketization, corporatization of public education, and gentrification.  So you can expect to read and enjoy related pertinent commentary.
