Given growing interest in our local community and increased prominence of presenters\, we’re happy to open this speaker series to individuals outside of the BU faculty and students typically in attendance.  \nAll are welcome. The seminar series is geared towards an academic audience and will include detailed and technical discussion about methods used in the research\, in addition to the policy context and implications.  \nSpecific talk titles will be shared a week in advance with registered attendees. Confirmed speakers include:  \nKatharine Strunk (Michgan State University): February 28th 12:30 – 2:00pm \nLOCATION: Boston University\, Questrom School of Business\, 4th Floor\, 595 Commonwealth Ave\, Boston MA 02215 \nKatharine O.

Erickson Distinguished Chair in Education and the faculty director of the Michigan State University Education Policy Innovation Collaborative (EPIC). She is also the immediate past-president of the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP). Strunk’s current research through EPIC is focused on working with local and state education agencies on studies that will help them inform policy and practice. Rooted in the fields of economics and public policy\, Strunk’s work centers on structures that are central to state and district operations and policy and the ways these structures affect policymakers’ decisions and outcomes. Her research examines teacher labor markets\, school and district improvement and accountability policies\, and efforts to improve student achievement.
