Judy Marquez Kiyama joined the Warner School higher education faculty in 2008 with research and teaching interests in college access, outreach, choice and retention, with particular interest in underrepresented students, their families, and communities. Her research examines these areas from three overarching theoretical perspectives: organizational theory, traditional models of capital (social and cultural capital), and funds of knowledge.

Kiyama’s community-based approach to research engages asset-based theoretical frameworks to better understand collective knowledge and resources present in communities. Her previous research utilized the frameworks of funds of knowledge and social and cultural capital to understand the development of educational ideologies and college knowledge in Mexican American families. Kiyama is currently involved in a collaborative research project with the Ibero-American Action League examining the state of Latina/o education in the Rochester City School District. Specifically, this project examines the resources that promote and the barriers that prohibit Latina/o students from progressing through school. Kiyama’s roles on the project include overseeing the qualitative component of the study and analyzing the implications of students’ experiences on college access and opportunity.

Kiyama brings six years of experience as a student affairs professional to Warner. She served The University of Arizona and Fairleigh Dickinson University in the areas of multicultural affairs, summer transition programs, and student involvement and leadership, with a special focus on developing academic success programs for first-generation and ethnic minority college students.
