Beth Warren Elected to National Academy of Education

Prestigious appointment recognizes groundbreaking work in advancing educational equity and justice

Beth Warren, Sylvia Earl Professor and director of the Earl Center for Learning & Innovation, was elected as a member of the National Academy of Education (NAEd). A professor of language and literacy education, she is the first Boston University professor to ever receive this honor.

Warren’s research focuses on re-imagining learning and teaching through co-design of culturally and linguistically expansive educational ecologies that cultivate justice, dignity, and mutual flourishing. As director of the Earl Center, Warren collaborates closely with faculty, students, and community partners to support and sustain these initiatives.

“I’m honored to have been elected to the National Academy of Education,” says Warren. “I look forward to working with the NAEd community of scholars to mentor early career scholars and, in this time of brutal suppression of human and civil rights, to argue for educational justice and dignity.”

The NAEd is a prestigious organization with members in the United States and around the world. Its mission is to advance research that improves education policy and practice for the next generation of scholars.

“Professor Warren’s appointment to the NAEd is a well-deserved recognition of her exceptional scholarship and deep commitment to transforming education,” says Dean Penny Bishop. “We’re proud to have her as part of our faculty. This honor reflects the caliber of intellectual leadership she brings to our college, and to education research and policy more broadly.”
