Jackson Mangual

Language and Literacy, Society and Culture students Shantina Jackson and Ariana Mangual have each received a 2007–08 UC Mentored Research Award. These UC systemwide awards assist doctoral students in acquiring research skills under faculty mentorship, while working on their own pre-dissertation research. Each awardee receives $14,000, plus in-state fees for the academic year. Each UC campus receives 15 awards. Jackson will be working with GSE  professor Daniel Perlstein and Mangual with Linguistic and Cultural Anthropology professor William Hanks.

Quantitative Methods and Evaluation student Diana Bernbaum has been awarded a 2007–08 College Board Research Grant Award. Bernbaum will receive $36,000 for the award, which is given to just five young scholars in the nation. Her research paper is entitled: Measuring College Readiness: Applying the College Board Standards for College Success to Cognitive and Psychometric Models of Student Learning in Mathematics.

The GSE’s Outstanding Dissertation Award was presented to Indigo Esmonde at this year’s commencement exercises, whose dissertation chair is Geoff Saxe.

Several UC Berkeley graduate students gave presentations at the American Education Research Association and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics national conferences.
