Assistant Professor
Rowan University
Dr. Iqtadar’s work focuses on inclusive education in terms of (a) student voice and identity work in urban education systems at the intersections of race, immigration, class, gender, and dis/ability, and (b) policy analysis and theory development in Disability Studies in Education (DSE). As a female researcher of Color, and recent immigrant to the United States, she is specifically sensitive to the issues of power, justice, and students’ intersectional identities within the education system. In the year 2021-2022, Dr. Iqtadar conducted her doctoral research with immigrant and refugee student populations in the Midwest. She has published a handbook chapter in SAGE Handbook of Inclusion and Diversity in Education and peer-reviewed articles in journals such as Race, Ethnicity and Education (REE), Disability Studies Quarterly (DSQ), Education Policy Analysis Archives, and Educational Policy. In her recent publication, she has engaged in policy analysis of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) to examine the complexity of the global education policy and the expansion of Global-South informed Disability Critical Race Studies (DisCrit).
