Keynote & Presentations: 9:30 AM-12 PM (In-person & Zoom)
Lunch & NYU Seminar: 12-2:30 PM (In-person)
The field of education research faces an opportunity to deepen its impact and reimagine its approach to science and discovery. To reimagine is to move beyond the status quo and create space for the emergence of new connections, more meaningful engagement, and greater access to knowledge. We acknowledge that achieving these goals is a significant challenge. The inequality laid bare and hastened by the pandemic requires us to build equitable and responsive partnerships that can inform and be informed by communities. The “Useful to Whom? Imagining the Next Generation of Education Research Partnerships'' forum will showcase research-policy-practice partnerships paving the way for education impact.
In the morning, the forum will feature a keynote by Dr. Vivian Tseng, Senior Vice President at the William T. Grant Foundation. Dr. Tseng launched the Foundation’s initiative on the use of research evidence in policy and practice and is instrumental in the field of research-practice partnerships, including supporting the creation the National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships.
The event will also feature presentations by scholars and community collaborators. Presenters include:
- Natalie May, PhD student in Applied Psychology, Dr. Erin Godfrey, Director of the Institute of Human Development and Social Change and Associate Professor of Applied Psychology, and Dr. Shabnam Javdani, Associate Professor of Applied Psychology
- Dr. Michael Kieffer, Associate Professor of Literacy Education, and Andrew Weaver, PhD student in Teaching & Learning and IES-PIRT fellow
- Andrew Nalani, PhD student in Applied Psychology, and Deanna Ibrahim, PhD student in Applied Psychology
- Dr. Jim Kemple, Executive Director of the Research Alliance for New York City Schools
The morning keynote and presentations will be hosted in-person and over Zoom.
In the afternoon, Dr. Vivian Tseng will host an in-person seminar focusing on strategies for conducting responsible partnered research and translating findings into practice. The seminar is designed for NYU PhD and graduate students, but NYU faculty and researchers are also welcome to attend. Due to COVID-related restrictions, only members of the NYU community are eligible to attend in person and join the afternoon seminar on campus. Lunch will be provided to all in-person participants.
