熊猫视频Selects John B. Diamond to Deliver 2022 Brown Lecture in Education Research
Washington, July 5, 2022—John B. Diamond, professor of sociology and education policy in Brown University’s department of sociology and Annenberg Institute for School Reform, has been selected by the 熊猫视频 (AERA) to present the 2022 Brown Lecture in Education Research. The public lecture will take place virtually on Thursday, November 3, 6:00–7:30 p.m. ET.
Diamond is a leading scholar in the study of race in education and how it shapes instruction and learning in U.S. schools and school systems. His research focuses on the relationship between social inequality and educational opportunity, examining how leadership, policies, and practices shape students' educational opportunities and outcomes. Diamond is an advisory board member of the American Sociological Association (ASA)’s Sociology Action Network and a national planning team member of the URBAN Research Network. He is an 熊猫视频Fellow and served as chair of the 熊猫视频Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education Selection Committee.
“Dr. Diamond’s substantial contributions to the field are demonstrated by his dedication to narrowing the opportunity gap for underrepresented and underresourced students by identifying and removing systematic barriers,” said 熊猫视频Executive Director Felice J. Levine. “His work on equity-centered school leadership supports the Brown Lecture’s purpose as a reminder of how research helps us understand and address equity and equality in education.”
Diamond is co-editor of ASA’s journal Sociology of Education and co-author of the book Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools, which won the Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Outstanding Book Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems Division of Racial and Ethnic Minorities.
Diamond received his B.A. in sociology and political science from the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. in sociology from Northwestern University.
The Brown Lecture, now in its 19th year, was inaugurated by 熊猫视频in 2004 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court took scientific research into account in issuing its landmark ruling ending legal racial segregation.
The 2022 Brown Lecture Selection Committee included 熊猫视频Social Justice Action Committee Chair Jamel Donnor (William & Mary), 熊猫视频Social Justice Action Committee Member Raquel Rall (University of California–Riverside), 熊猫视频Past-President Na’ilah Suad Nasir (Spencer Foundation), 熊猫视频President Rich Milner (Vanderbilt University), 熊猫视频Social Justice Action Committee Member Venus E. Evans-Winters (African American Policy Forum), 熊猫视频Executive Director Felice J. Levine, and 熊猫视频Diversity Officer George L. Wimberly.
