He is the author of peer-reviewed journal articles, books and other academic publications. His research examines race and gender in education and social contexts; student success in high school and higher education; and adjustment and transition of marginalized collegians. His most recent scholarship examined segmentation and capital of community college transfer students.

Dr. Bazile received both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Social Work at Stony Brook University. He received his doctorate in educational leadership from Penn State University and was a doctoral fellow at the University of California at Berkeley.
