Dr. Webster is a tenure-track assistant professor of Political Science at Highline College. He earned his Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from the University of Washington and a Master of Public Administration from Seattle University.

His research sits at the intersection of race, politics, and public policy, exposing how punitive systems target Black and Brown communities and pushing for policy change rooted in equity and justice. In 2023, he received the NAMI Bebe Moore Campbell Minority Mental Health Award for his contributions to minority mental health awareness in Washington State.

Dr. Webster is the author of “I Don’t Think They Like Us: School Suspensions as Anti-Black Male Practice” (Journal of African American Males in Education) and “Black Bodies, Dueling Pandemics, and the Hidden Rules for White Profit in the NBA” (Philosophy, Sport, and the Pandemic, 2022). He has spoken at national conferences on race and equity and works with school districts to reconstruct policies that better support Black males. His teaching and scholarship share one mission: disrupting systems of harm and expanding community power through political knowledge.
