How to specialize?
This is the view from my office at school this afternoon. That’s the San Francisco Bay and Marin hills in the distance.
Am thinking a lot about my new and inspired idea about what I can do with my Ph.d. career. If I pursue this idea of a cross-country study of teacher education policy responses to immigration, what would make sense to specialize in? We are required to have 3 areas of specialization in our program, and they should grow out of my research question. Potential ideas are:
- Immigration and education
- Policy formation/implementation/evaluation
- Teacher education
- Multiculturalism in education
- Bilingualism/Second language learning
- A research methodology?
