She authored the groundbreaking analysis, White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack, which explored the impact of privilege in discussions of gender and race. She is founder and co-director of the National S.E.E.D. (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) Project and Associate Director of the Wellesley Centers for Women.

Proceeds from both events support the Minnesota Inclusiveness Program, the first state branch of the National S.E.E.D Project. The S.E.E.D project helps teachers create their own year-long, school based seminars on making school climates, K-12 curricula and teaching methods more gender fair and multiculturally equitable.

The Minnesota Inclusiveness Program (MIP) is dedicated to empowering and enriching the lives of early childhood through college level students throughout the state of Minnesota. Educators, administrators, professors, parents and community leaders are trained to provide a teaching process and curricula that reflect the contributions and stories of all peoples according to race, gender, socioeconomic structures and special needs. MIP has proudly been making a difference in the lives of students and educational professionals since its inception in 1992.
