Faculty Participation Enlivens GSE Research Day
Vicki Benson and David Pearson, speaking, with Sarah Kohansal, presented their paper, "Curriculum Reform in the Context of a State Mandate." Rick Ayers discussed his research as part of a group presentation poster session on "Qualitiative Methods in Language and Literacy Education." Susie Goodin looks on as incoming Research Day student coordinator Lori Hurwitz presented her paper, "It May Be Broken, but Are the Attempts To Fix It Helping?"
A record number of 175 GSE faculty and students gathered for GSE Research Day on March 16 to share and showcase their work in progress.
“There was a marked increase in faculty attendance this year from the previous two years, and I think that means a lot to students,” said incoming student coordinator Lori Hurwitz, a POME/LLSC doctoral candidate and a key volunteer at the annual event.
It cuts both ways according to GSE professor Judith Warren Little. “We all came away with an appreciation for the breadth and depth of research underway here,” said GSE professor Judith Warren Little. She says that the roundtable and poster sessions have been particularly popular because “they stimulate conversations across program boundaries and allow everyone to make connections with new ideas and new people.”
Despite its successes, the future of Research Day may be in jeopardy. The event could be discontinued when the Spencer Research Training Grant expires after 2008.
Warren Little, Hurwitz and others in the GSE community are not about to let that happen.
“It's a wonderful networking opportunity," said Hurwitz, "and one that I dearly hope we figure out how to continue.”
