She has also served as Ph.D. placement advisor at UCB and as Asst. Dean of the Graduate Division at UC Santa Barbara. Throughout she has conducted extensive research on doctoral success, socialization and career paths among other topics. Women and underrepresented groups, particularly in science and technology, have been a constant in most of her research. She has extensive national and international service and works closely with especially German higher education researchers. She has been funded by the Spencer Foundation, University of California Graduate Division, Packard Foundation, NSF, etc. Fellowships include German Academic Exchange Service, Institute for European History, and Max-Planck-Institut für Geschichte, AAAS, etc

How can school curricula be broadened towards a more responsive, dynamic and inclusive form of education?

This project is part of a major initiative launched by the British Educational Research Association with the aim to identify and address issues of current importance to the study and practice of education. The Commissions’ findings will provide both theoretical rigour and an evidence base that can help set the strategic direction and aspirations of BERA and influence how it engages with other learned societies, Research Councils, Government and the education community more broadly.
