The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University named UCI School of Education Associate Professor Emily K. Penner as one of its 2023-24 fellows. The fellows class comprises of 37 scholars and practitioners representing 22 U.S. institutions and nine international institutions and programs.
Members of the class conduct research in a variety of fields in the social and behavioral sciences and cognate disciplines. This includes anthropology, architecture, communication, economics, education, history, information science, law, medicine, organization studies, philosophy, political science, psychology, public health, sociology, and urban studies and planning.
“The Center’s annual renewal of its intellectual community is always an anticipated occurrence, even more so this year with the arrival of a new director,” said Sally Schroeder, CASBS’s deputy director. “Accordingly, we worked hard to set the bar of excellence as high as it has ever been and attract interest from some of the world’s most innovative social and behavioral scientists. We’re so gratified that we achieved, if not exceeded, our goal with the 2023-24 class.”
Penner’s research focuses on educational inequality and policy, and considers the ways that policies, districts, schools, teachers, peers, and parents can contribute to or ameliorate educational inequality. Her projects have examined teacher recruitment and retention in constrained labor and housing markets, how curriculum placement policies affect student learning, and how state accountability policies might affect school-level supports under the Every Student Succeeds Act.
