Marilyn Johnston-Parsons
Professor
Dr. Parson’s current research interests include educational reform related to teacher education and social studies education particularly related to issues of social justice and diversity. She is also interested in collaborative research methodologies, urban education, and action/teacher research and self-study. Recently Dr. Parsons published a book with teachers from a mid-western urban school which describes the ways in which learning successes happen daily in a school that is labeled "failing" by its test scores. She is currently working on a research project in an urban Chicago school working collaboratively with teachers to integrated social studies and content area writing.more information...
