I am interested in the SSCE program because I love the literature on CRT and cultural capital especially within the context of education. I actually am not interested in teaching k-12 at all, I would like to go into academia or policy. I am also a Gates Scholar and SSCE is fully funded for me. I am somewhat torn between HEOC though because most of my research has been done within the context of higher education, access and retention, but pulling in the socio-historical factors as well.
