Dr Gabriel’s research interests are interdisciplinary and broadly focused on education and social justice, inclusive teaching strategies and transformative pedagogies. She explores these areas through the lens of intersectionality, examining the relationships between race and gender. She specializes in critical and emancipatory paradigms, applying mixed methods to qualitative-interpretative research. Areas of expertise include Black feminisms, critical race theory, social justice pedagogy, student centred learning, problem-based learning and education for sustainable development. She has used innovative modes of enquiry including critical ethnography, autoethnography, virtual ethnography, cyberethnography, experiential learning, conversational learning and participatory witnessing, alongside traditional methods such as focus groups, interviews, and case studies.
