About Rican
Vue engages in research that is comparative, intersectional, and interdisciplinary to radically transform how we (re)imagine education for equity and justice. Her research focuses on three interrelated areas: (1) racism, violence, and displacement in education; (2) subjugated epistemologies and ways of knowing; and (3) critical policy analysis. Through these areas of study and scholarship, she examines the social and cultural processes that institutionally displace HMoob people and BIPOC students and communities, and amplifies the knowledge of people minoritized at the intersections of racism, classism, and patriarchy by highlighting their practices of imagination.

Why Higher Education Leaders Must Interpret Anti-DEI Laws Carefully
Publications
Investigates how racist gaslighting operates within education policy and political discourse, particularly in ways that distort, deny, or minimize experiences of racial harm. Demonstrates that these discursive practices can undermine efforts toward equity by shifting attention away from structural racism and invalidating the lived realities of marginalized communities.
Reconsiders how concepts of justice in higher education are shaped within an increasingly anti-DEI political and legal environment. Suggests that historical understandings of justice can provide alternative pathways for advancing equity, even as institutions face growing restrictions on diversity and inclusion efforts.
