Urban Education Policy Masters Program, Brown University

Printer-friendly version

AISR collaborates with the education department at Brown University to offer the Urban Education master’s degree program. Michelle Renée and Warren Simmons co-teach the Urban Systems and Structures class; Mike Grady and Ellen Foley co-teach the Research Design and Methods class as well as a course on grant writing. Both the UEP courses and AISR program work have been enriched by significant interconnections between the two. AISR recently hired UEP alumna Elsa Duré as a research associate and has set up a number of internships for UEP students through our extensive ties with other organizations involved in school reform.

Havala Hanson is a researcher at the Strategic Data Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a 2010 graduate of Brown University’s Urban Education Policy Program. She describes how the UEP program prepared her for her work.
