Dr. Michelle Angela Domingues (pronouns she/they/ella) describes herself as a multiracial
White Chicana. Dr. Domingues spent 17 years with Portland State University, where
she is most proud of co-constructing a creative reuse cultural education center in
the College of Education Reggio-inspired lab school, and co-publishing in the Journal
of Childhood Studies. Dr. Domingues main focus is leadership in bridging early childhood
ecology, culture and learning. Other areas of interest include Reggio Emilia approach,
neo-materialism, inclusive identity studies, critical mixed race studies, Chicana
studies and critical feminist post humanism. Their work supports ECE practitioners
to critically examine and resist historically constructed, normative views of young
children, their families, schools, and communities. Dr. Domingues looks forward to
germinating Fresno State REmedio, a creative reuse cultural education center located
in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development.
