EDST alumni video interviews

Dr. Suzanne Scott

We have released two new video interviews featuring EDST alumni. Dr. Suzanne Scott, who completed her PhD in the Department of EDST and graduated in fall 2011, talks about her higher education research, its significance, and what EDST means to her.

We also talked about school segregation and anti-racism with Dr. Timothy J. Stanley. Dr. Stanley is an EDST alumnus and currently a professor and vice dean of academic programs in the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa. He visited EDST on November 22, 2011, to give a talk about his new book, Contesting White Supremacy: School Segregation, Anti-Racism, and the Making of Chinese Canadians (2011, UBC Press). He talks about what he hopes the reader will gain from the book, and sends a message for students in EDST.
