Instructors
Claudia M. Castillo-Lavergne, graduated with a Ph.D. in Human Development and Social Policy from the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. Her research examines the developmental and educational pathways of historically racialized and marginalized young people with a focus on how young people make meaning of their intersecting identities both in the moment and across the life course within a variety of learning contexts and disciplinary domains. She also conducts place-based community-engaged research to examine the types of identity resources made available across learning settings, such as science and math classrooms, that support and/or constrain the learning and possible futures of historically marginalized young people. More broadly, her research takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining how young people are racialized, politicized, and historicized in different learning settings and what these processes mean for identity development and learning around what is possible for themselves and their communities.
