Dr. Lesley Bogad is a professor of Educational Studies at ΢Ȧ, an affiliated faculty member in the Gender and Women’s Studies Program, and co-director of the Youth Development Program. She is also the founder and lead facilitator of A.L.L.I.E.D., the Advanced Learning and Leadership Initiative for Educational Diversity, a primary tool for recruiting and retaining students from historically underrepresented groups in the Feinstein School of Education. In 2016, she received the Youth in Action Award for Community Engagement, and in 2015, the Bucci Family Award for Teaching Excellence. In addition to her teaching and research around schooling for social justice, critical pedagogy, youth culture and media literacy, she also serves on the board for the Center for Resilience, a non-profit organization that brings mindfulness practices to schools, communities and workplaces in Rhode Island. Everyday, Lesley tries to work to contribute to a more socially-just world, but sometimes she get distracted by working in her garden, parenting a tiny human, surfing Facebook, or listening to the music from Hamilton.
