I
ngrid Seyer-Ochi is an anthropologist and historian of education whose research and teaching interests focus on urban education; the history of education; families, neighborhoods, and community organizations as educative institutions; and the relationships among school and beyond-school learning contexts. She is particularly interested in the spatial production and organization of cities, neighborhoods, and learning contexts. Underlying all of her work is an interest in the experiences of socially-constructed and marginalized groups as they interact with multiple social service institutions across structured and segregated landscapes. Her most recent project was an ethnographic and historical study of the structured pathways of opportunity and denial traveled by African American youth from San Francisco's Fillmore neighborhood. Her book, "Smart on the Under: Excavating Opportunity in Urban America, " is forthcoming. She is also the co-author of a middle-school text on Asian Americans. Professor Seyer-Ochi is affiliated faculty with UC Berkeley's Institute for the Study of Social Change, the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality and the Center for Race and Gender. A former public high school teacher, she brings practical understandings about education and urban schools to her teaching and research.
