Doctoral Candidate Awarded Spencer Dissertation Fellowship
Jennifer Russell, a doctoral candidate in the Policy, Organization, Measurement and Evaluation program, has been awarded a Spencer Dissertation Fellowship. The $20,000 fellowship, given to only 30 Ph.D. candidates from all academic disciplines in the country, will allow Russell to devote full-time to completion of her dissertation. In addition to the stipend, she will be invited to participate in two forums that offer support for dissertation writing and transitioning into professional work.
Russell is in the data collection stage of her dissertation, which examines how much children should be expected to learn in kindergarten and the extent to which shifting societal expectations and educational policies determine what and how kindergarten students are taught in California. Her faculty advisor is Judith Warren Little.
