075 Between Worlds: A powerful documentary by alumnus Eddie Aguilar
Between Worlds is a documentary that was written, shot, and produced by Eddie Aguilar, an alumnus of Washington State University’s Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education program. It is an autoethnography, meaning, it was about him, and his journey toward something called critical consciousness. We caught up Eddie at the 2020 Globalization Conference, and talked about this documentary, and how it’s meant to instill critical consciousness in communities.
074 2019 DIssertation of the Year – Elevating Support for School Principals
In the world of school principals, there’s plenty of technical research out there about tactics principals can use to improve their craft and help students. But there’s often still a disconnect in their professional development, and much of it has to do with the relationship between the principal and their principal supervisor.
So when James Crawford formed his dissertation, it dealt with far more than the technical, and dealt specifically with those relationships, how trust is built, what that looks like when it occurs, what are the actions that take place, how does the professional relationship help learning? The research was good. In fact, it was award-winning.

072 Increasing Geoliteracy Through Puzzle Maps
Geo-literacy was a term coined by National Geographic to describe the understanding of how our world works that is required of ALL members of a modern, globally interconnected society. It's way more than being able to find countries on a map.
We sat down with Sarah Newcomer, an associate professor of literacy education at Washington State University Tri-Cities, and she shared a cool project that she’s working on to help increase geo-literacy.
