Third Andresen
My pursuit of a Ph.D. in Multicultural Education is connected to my sense of personal obligation to my community to provide direction in deconstructing the generations of cultural captivity in our current knowledge construction process. As I reflect on my experiences, an empirical question has surfaced which I would like to pursue. The question relates to issues of reducing the psychological damage inflicted on students of color in the current context of schooling. In particular, how would integrating contributions through transformative approaches of marginalized groups in current curriculum influence student’s attitudes and performance in schools? I am particularly interested in the implications the answers to this question would have on students’ abilities to become reflective citizens in our pluralistic nation.

I am currently in my second year as a doctoral student in the Curriculum and Instruction Multicultural Education program. I have no teaching experience in the United States, but have participated in a teaching practicum and taught in a private summer school in Taiwan. Right now, my research interests involve looking at the learning trajectory and identities of Asian American students, particularly the Chinese Americans.
