Devin Gray, doctoral student in Higher and Postsecondary Education, is this year's recipient of the Anna Neumann Supporting Student Research Award.  Spearheaded by Dr. Aimee LaPointe Terosky (HPSE 2005) and supported over the years by Professor Neumann's former students and HPSE supporters, the award recognizes and seeks to advance promising dissertation research on faculty careers and college teaching and learning. 

Devin’s research focuses on teaching and learning at the postsecondary level in prisons, specifically on the distinct teaching and learning that takes place in carceral classrooms, the instructional practices of faculty, the identity of the student-inmate as learner, and the emergence of critical pedagogies which attend to the prison context. Devin is currently the Senior Manager of Special Projects in the Office of the President here at Teachers College, and has served as a Course Assistant for several courses within the HPSE program, most recently in 'Curriculum and Instruction' and 'College Teaching and Learning' taught by Professor Anna Neumann.
