Dr. Hall holds a Ph.D. in Educational Culture, Policy and Society, with a 4.0. average. While Ed.D. Director, she created the Educational Leadership, Society, and Change Ph.D. Program from the ground up, which was granted swift approval from the New York State Department of Education.

Her books include Canal Town Youth: Community Organization and the Development of Adolescent Identity (SUNY Press); and the volumes, Female Students & Cultures of Violence in Cities (Routledge); Underprivileged School Children & the Assault on Dignity: Policy Challenges and Resistance (Routledge); and Children’s Human Rights & Public Schools in the United Stated (Sense). Her volumes won the national, scholarly American Educational Studies Association (AESA) Critics’ Book Choice Award of the Year.
