About

Kristin Reed joined VCU’s Department of Focused Inquiry in 2009. A Russian arts and literature scholar by training, Dr. Reed’s work at VCU focuses on advocacy-oriented pedagogy, public education policy, and interdisciplinary arts. Today Dr. Reed serves on the board of the Richmond Community Legal Fund and as a volunteer with the Virginia Master Naturalists, where she works with their central Piedmont vernal pool monitoring program. When she’s not teaching, fundraising, or counting salamander larva you can find her in the print studio making art.
