Albany State University Center for Educational Opportunity Expands Team with Strategic New Hire
|
Posted By: Joy Jones on August 20, 2020 Dr. Brittany Gatewood has been hired by Albany State University (ASU) Center for Educational Opportunity in the role of Post Doctoral Research Faculty. She has been brought on to strengthen and support the Center for Educational Opportunity’s research initiatives. The mission of the ASU Center for Educational Opportunity is to advance educational research in order to strengthen and empower fragile communities from the bottom up. Dr. Gatewood, who was previously at Howard University, earned a Ph.D. in Sociology from the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Howard University with a concentration in social inequality and criminology, and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies. Her research interests include social inequality, criminology, social movements, and scholar activism; and focuses on social movements within carceral institutions as well as the political practice and tradition of resistance of Black women and their children. Recently, she has been a guest speaker at several events, including the Interdisciplinary Collaborative Workshop (ICW) Public Scholarship and Teaching Teach-Ins on Protest and Policing with the University of Minnesota, to give her expertise and opinion on Black Lives Matter and the protests of the summer of 2020. Dr. Gatewood received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and a Masters of Arts in Liberal Arts at the University of Detroit Mercy. “Dr. Gatewood is an important addition to our team,“ said ASU Center for Educational Opportunity Founding Director Dr. Kathaleena Edward Monds. “Her experience and understanding of the intersectionality of social inequality, women’s studies and educational opportunity will be invaluable in support of our continued growth in researching educational opportunities.” About Us Founded on April 13, 2018, the Center of Educational Opportunity is funded by the Thurgood Marshall College Funder Center for Advancing Opportunity and located on the campus of Albany State University, a public historically black college and university (HBCU) in Albany, Georgia. The Center for Educational Opportunity examines the barriers to educational access and attainment for fragile families. We seek out the best practices that will impact the way educators, policymakers and community stakeholders provide educational opportunity and choice. Our academic research has real-world relevance. We endeavor for the Center for Educational Opportunity to become a premier resource for education reform solutions and believe our efforts have the power to help transform lives.
