Welcome!
This is a closed forum for participants at the CIES New Scholars Workshop 2008. I hope we can introduce ourselves to each other and have other interesting academic discussions on this blog. Heidi
Great! Thanks, Heidi, for your initiation and great work!
My name is Jingjing Lou and currently a doctoral student in educational policy studies at Indiana University, Bloomington. I look forward to more discussions with you all on this blog and meeting with some of you at CIES in NYC! :)
It has been a pleasure getting to know a number of new scholars via email, telephone, and meetings. I have the greatest respect for your research and contributions to the field, and I look forward to meeting you in New York City.
My name is Linda Furuto and I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Hawai'i. I finished my Ph.D. at UCLA this past June 2007, and am grateful for a job that brought me "home". I currently sit on the CIES Board of Directors (2006-2009) and am the New Scholars Committee Chair.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions/comments (email: lindafuruto@post.harvard.edu).
Thanks for doing this, Heidi. What a great way to introduce ourselves. I look forward to getting to know each of you better--to hear about your work and future ambitions.
My name is Bryant Jensen. I am a PhD student in Educational Psychology at Arizona State University. Currently I live in Mexico City, where I am working on my dissertation, a binational study of child literacy development. I was lucky enough to get funding from Fulbright for this work. It has been wonderful to have this time to focus solely on my work, an opportunity I realize is not afforded to many graduate students.
Thanks to Heidi and it's nice to see all of you here, in a digital way.
My name is Yongling Zhang and I am a student at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. This is my third year of Ph.D. study in Comparative International Development Education (CIDE) and I plan to do my field work this fall, in civic education in China.
Thank Heidi for creating an opportunity to get to know each other!
My name is Yuki Watabe, and I am a Ph.D. student of Comparative and International Development Education at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. My dissertation topic is internationalization of Japanese national universities. I am planning to do my filed work this summer.
I am looking forward to meeting you at CIES in NYC.
My name is Yuki Amaki, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Division of Social Science and Comparative Education at UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies. I currently live in Japan to conduct my dissertation research. My research focus is postsecondary educational decision-making among first-generation college-bound students in Okinawa area in Japan.
I’m so excited to see you all in CEIS New Scholars Workshop at Columbia University!
Maybe I have to introduce myself as well ;-) ... I have an M.Phil. in Comparative and International Education with a specialization in Education and Development from the University of Oslo. My master thesis was about Democracy and Language of Instruction in South Africa. Currently I'm employed at Oslo University College (yes, we are employed in Norway, not considered students - lucky us!) doing my PhD. Now I've turned my attention to Scandinavia, conducting research on Democracy in Multicultural School Environments in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. More information about me is available on my web page: http://home.hio.no/~heidbi/
Looks awesome Heidi!! Can't wait to meet everyone at CIES:)
My name is Rhiannon and I am a Ph.D Student in CIDE at the University of Minnesota (hoping to graduate in the next five or six months!!) Keeping my fingers crossed and well... maybe not crossed as that would be quite a hindrance to the typing of my dissertation! I must say after seeing the variety of topics represented by all of this years participants, the discussions before and during the workshop I can only imagine will be extremely interesting!!! Looking forward to March. Best of luck everyone in the coming semester.
Hi Everyone, and Thank you Heidi for getting this going. It is really interesting to read all of your introductions and I am very excited to meet you all in March.
My name is Keren Frayman, and I am doing a PhD at the Institute of Education in the University of London. My research is about multicultural education among youth in conflict, with a specific focus on non-formal organizations working with Jewish and Arab youth in Israel. I also work in the London Center for Leadership in Learning at the Institute primarily on a large scale research project looking at international school partnerships in the UK, Africa and Asia.
I am really looking forward to sharing my work and learning about yours!
Dear All, Great idea! Thank you Heidi. Please excuse my tardness :-) My name is Manar Sabry. I am currently a doctoral candidate in the Educational Leadership and Policy - Comparative Education program at SUNY Buffalo, NY. Additionally, I am an associate in the International Comparative Higher Education Finance and Accessibility Project. My topic is Resource diversification, equity and quality in higher education: Case study Foreign Language instructed programs in Public universities in Egypt. My dissertation uses a mixed method approach, but I am more of a quantitative person. I hope to see you all at the CIES and to be able to share with you some methodolgy discussions.I am also hoping and only hoping to finish my dissertation before the end of 2008.
