Her published work with Peter Lang includes Undoing Whiteness in the Classroom: Critical Educultural Teaching Approaches for Social Justice Activism, co-edited with Erma Jean Sims (2008), and Constructing Critical Consciousness: Narratives that Unmask Hegemony, and Ideas for Creating Greater Equity in Education (2014).

Virginia also co-directs the nonprofit The Educultural Foundation with her partner, Babatunde Lea.
