Steve Camicia
Before entering the doctoral program in Curriculum and Instruction, I taught sixth grade. My research has focused upon democratic education and the manner in which controversial issues are deliberated inside and outside of schools. In particular, I am interested in how different perspectives are included or excluded from educational settings. I hope that my research will help guide decisions concerning how best to educate students to nourish democratic ways of living together. Walter Parker is my adviser.
Carol Jo Coe
I am a first-year doctoral student in Curriculum and Instruction and a part-time Activities Coordinator at Cleveland High School. I’ve taught high school language arts (speech, debate, and discussion) and social studies (psychology, sociology, leadership, American Studies) for 35 years. Walter Parker is my advisor, and my research interest is education as democracy rather than education for democracy. Specifically, I want to study deliberative discourse and its effect on students, especially students from marginalized populations. What happens when students experience deliberative discourse on a regular basis? What effect does the deliberative process have on student attitudes toward self
and toward society? Does greater participation in deliberation generate a greater sense of empowerment on the part of students? Is the experience different for students who represent some of America’s most marginalized populations?
