Brittany Murray Malcolm O. Partin Assistant Professor of Educational Studies and Political Science

My research investigates relationships between families and educational policies, school resource allocation, and the distribution of learning opportunities in U.S. public schools. I use mixed methods and have a special interest in leveraging administrative data to gain unique analytical perspectives on school and community contexts. I teach courses on the social foundations of K-12 education, research methods, and critical approaches to policy analysis. I also partner with community-based organizations to create more equitable engagement practices and more inclusive access to educational decision-making for non-dominant families and communities.
