Assistant Professor Stefanie Marshall in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction received the 2020  Women’s Philanthropic Leadership (WPLC) Rising Star Faculty Award. Marshall’s research focuses on the impact of science education policy on marginalized students.

“While science is foregrounded in my work, I am interested in quality and equitable education for all kids,” Marshall explains. “Through courses, I support my students to think critically and to be more socially aware so they can be better teachers for Black and Brown children.”
