60.083-19 - Division I Roundtable E. Researching a Region for Education Equity: A Symposium With University of California, San Diego, Faculty and Researchers
Sun, April 19, 8:15 to 9:45am, Hyatt, Floor: East Tower - Purple Level, Riverside EastSession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
UC San Diego faculty, staff and student researchers in the Department of Education Studies share work aimed at transforming education in under-served communities. Our mission is to work with local communities to wield the tools of research to impact disparities in students’ educational experiences and outcomes. We created a new Ph.D. program, Transforming Education in a Diverse Society, to address existing challenges in racially, linguistically, and socially diverse educational environments and re-define the research expectations for a new generation of Ph.D. faculty and education researchers. The new program involves undergraduate and graduate students, interdisciplinary faculty collaboration, and actors from local community initiatives. We present new research and curricular projects focused on the transformation of education in specific diverse contexts.
