Student Perspectives on Generative AI

The purpose of this study is to explore how undergraduates use and think about generative AI. I will be conducting a focus group in order to hear directly from students about the ways that they use (or don't use) AI, how they evaluate AI-generated content, what they like about generative AI, and any concerns they have. By learning from students' perspectives, I will gain a better understanding of how to create AI instruction that meets students' needs and interests.

Racial inequity in public school districts located in college towns

This study looks at why there is a large gap in academic achievement between Black and white students in public school districts located in college towns. To find answers, researchers will conduct detailed interviews with current and former teachers, school leaders, parents, and former students in the district of study. Through analysis of these interviews, the study aims to understand what factors from the past and present maintain racial inequality in the school district of study. The findings will help shed light on the causes of racial differences in educational outcomes and suggest ways to make education more equitable in public school districts located in college towns.
