UC Davis School of Education

This spring, our Graduate Group in Education hosted six of our dedicated scholars who recently received or are working toward a doctorate to share their research as a part the Ph.D. Student Colloquium series. Yanira Madrigal-Garcia rounded off the series with Revealing colonial schooling: Youth and teachers resisting racialization in two urban high schools. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/v10WMrzB0Co

The School of Education’s California Education Lab and the California Student Aid Commission have conducted a second survey of California college students’ experiences during COVID-19. The data and voices in their report tell a clear and troubling story: The pandemic has impacted the lives and educational trajectories of California college students in profound and profoundly uneven ways. While the accumulated toll has been substantial on students overall, disruption and stress have been disproportionally felt by Black and Latinx students, by lower-income students, and by those who attend community colleges.

Prof. and CANDEL Chair Elizabeth Montaño has been named Scholar of the Quarter by CAMPSSAH! This award recognizes faculty whose scholarship epitomizes scholarly or creative achievements that involve diverse communities with a commitment to social change. Dr. Montaño is amazing educator who makes herself available to mentor her students both professionally and personally, said Alicia Garcia, a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the School of Education. She has really humanized the professoriate for me which I aspire to be a part of post-graduation.
