UNC Greensboro
Greensboro, North Carolina, United States
Dr. Aileen Reid is an Assistant Professor in the Educational Research Methodology department and a Senior Fellow in the Office of Assessment, Evaluation, and Research Services (OAERS) at UNC Greensboro. Dr. Reid has expertise in culturally responsive, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and mixed methods research and evaluation, educational measurement and assessment, and organizational change. Dr. Reid leads research and evaluation on grants and contracts and supervises graduate and undergraduate research assistants in the STEM Program Evaluation Lab, which she directs at UNCG. The STEM Program Evaluation Lab (SPEL) provides training in research and evaluation for graduate and undergraduate students on STEM education projects. Dr. Reid is the principal/co-principal investigator on several grants funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Reid’s research applies culturally responsive frameworks to evaluation and measurement to shape educational research and policy and respond to societal challenges. This work is centered on social justice, access, diversity, equity, and inclusion and challenges researchers and practitioners to look at our cultural location as well as key dimensions of practice to incite change (e.g., context, relationships, validity, methodology, and design). Dr. Reid investigates inequities in outcomes among underrepresented and minoritized groups within this line of inquiry, specifically how the intersection of identities and practice impacts engagement and responsiveness to varying contexts and cultures. She also investigates values-engaged teaching, learning, and mentorship in research and evaluation. Dr. Reid presents and publishes her work in program evaluation, education, and the STEM disciplines.
Dr. Reid is the 2020 UNC Greensboro Thomas Undergraduate Research Mentor Award recipient. Dr. Reid holds a B.A. in public policy studies from Duke University, an M.P.A. from New York University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in educational research, measurement, and evaluation from UNC Greensboro.
