Biography​

Allison Starks is a second-year doctoral student in the School of Education’s Human Development in Context specialization, with an additional emphasis in Teaching and Learning. Allison is a former teacher and technology integrator in K-12 public schools, with experience in project-based learning, creating comprehensive digital citizenship programs at the district level, and facilitating family-school partnerships around technology. She enjoys partnering with families and schools to leverage technology in equitable, developmentally-informed ways to promote positive youth development. Read more about Allison’s teaching experience, research experience, and presentations here.

Allison’s research interests include: the intersection of child development and digital technologies, partnerships between schools and families, patterns of media use among different populations, and digital learning. 

Allison’s research interests are grounded in investigating the affordances and limitations of digital technologies to meet the developmental and academic needs of youth, with a focus on school-level contexts and family-school partnerships. Past research projects include adolescent digital privacy practices across contexts and equitable technology-enabled learning within special education. She is particularly interested in bringing a developmental lens to technology integration practices, across family, school, and child level interactions.
