Edom Tesfa, Ph.D.

I'm Edom Tesfa, an education researcher currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University in Rhode Island, USA. 

Using qualitative and participatory methods, I study how schools, families, and community organizations create healthy, welcoming learning environments for newcomer and multilingual youth. My work was recently funded by a National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship. 

I earned a Ph.D. and A.M. in education from Harvard University, where I was a Presidential Scholar, as well as a B.S. in Foreign Service– Culture and Politics from Georgetown University.
