Ceci Rouse (my former boss at the CEA) is giving the @aefpweb.bsky.social keynote, including a history of federal student loans.

She notes that the whole system starts with the 1958 National Defense Education Act.

If only someone would write a paper on this. Oh wait, we just did!

It’s a fun yet challenging project, and one of the most memorable parts was digitizing a lot of historical records. If you’re interested, come chat with me! #AEFP2025

It's not everyday that I wake up to a front page article in the Boston Globe featuring a colleague of mine, complete with photo shoot.

Today is that day! Fantastic coverage of the teacher workforce research that @oliviachi.bsky.social does here at BU Wheelock.

I've created a starter pack I'm calling "Education economics and policy", based on folks I follow in this area.

Please let me know if I've missed you!

Had an incredible time presenting my research with Dr. Marcus Winters on the effects of English learner reclassification at my first European conference IWAEE in late June! It was lovely catching up with old friend and mentors, and making new connections.

As a first-time presenter and second-time attendee at #AEFP2024, I’m thrilled that our Wheelock Educational Policy Center’s strong presence this year started with my collaboration with Dr. Olivia Chi on paraeducators and ended with my joint work with Dr. Marcus Winters on EL reclassification.

At our final Wheelock Ed Policy Center presentation of this conference, the audience applauds after PhD student Mingyan Ma announces this is her very first conference talk.
