Understanding Parent Social Capital
Rand Quinn of the University of Pennsylvania will present in the School of Education’s colloquium series
Join University of Delaware’s College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) for a colloquium with Rand Quinn, associate professor of education in the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education, from 1:50 to 2:50 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4, in room 205 of Willard Hall Education Building. The title of his talk is “Understanding Parent Social Capital: Design, Data and Analytic Tradeoffs.”
Quinn studies the origins and consequences of education organizing and activism, the politics of race and class in urban school reform and the impact of private and voluntary sector engagement in public education. His most recent work explores access and the mobilization of school-based social capital, youth organizing and civic preparation, teacher activism and the dynamics of university–school–community partnerships. He serves as the faculty director of Penn’s Civic House and the Civic Scholars program and teaches courses on the politics of school reform and the social organization of schooling.
Quinn’s colloquium is part of a year-long series hosted by CEHD’s School of Education. Speakers both internal and external to UD share their research and engage with faculty and students.
The colloquium is free and open to the public. Audience members are also welcome to participate in a discussion with the speaker following the colloquium.
