What is the honor you've received?

I have been elected to the National Academy of Education, an honorific society that advances high-quality education research to improve educational practice and policy.

Why did the Academy elect you to membership?

The Academy consists of US members and international associates who are elected based on outstanding scholarship or leadership related to education. My research, always a deeply collaborative endeavor, has focused on designing interdisciplinary learning ecologies across STEM, the arts, and humanities, grounded in commitments to educational dignity, social justice, and mutual flourishing.

Why is this honor meaningful to you?

This honor comes at a critically challenging time when foundational commitments to equity, diversity, and justice are under assault. I look forward to joining with my colleagues to advance the case for the important place of research in realizing the power of education in sustaining and expanding our democratic society.

What's next for you?

I'm excited about participating in the Academy's research studies, mentoring early career scholars through its professional development fellowship programs, and joining with colleagues to contribute to its wide range of formal and informal activities.
