Bryan K. Hotchkins, Ph.D. is a tenured professor of Higher Education in the department of Educational Psychology, Leadership, & Counseling at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
Dr. Hotchkins studies how people of African descent use cyberbonding play in videogames to navigate the geographies of leadership in co-curricular organizations, based on climate, context and culture. More specifically, his research problematizes organizational impediments that place undergraduate leadership development in a state of arrested development, which further exacerbates student participation outside of the classroom. Dr. Hotchkins' research is guided by questions related to how meritocracy influences educational environments; specifically, faculty and administrator involvement on campus. With nearly 1,000 citations [since 2016], a h-index (14), an i10-index (16), and nearly 100 formal trainings/keynote lectures to his credit, he is actively committed to using research to amplify rarely seen and/or heard life perspectives. Ultimately, Dr. Hotchkins continues to utilize his Belongingness as Organizational Emotional Intelligence™ trainings to teach people how to actualize thoughtful connectedness across organization practices, policies and programs. His book “My Black is Exhausted: Forever in Pursuit of a Racist-free World Where Hashtags Don't Exist” is coupled with the “Becoming (Un)exhausted: An Interactive Journal for Moving Beyond Racism,” to serve as a template for teaching people how to better understand what it means to problem-solve in a world of difference.
Bryan earned his doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Utah.
