Sheneka M. Williams is a 2009 recipient of the Sarah H. Moss Fellowship Award. Dr. Williams spent five weeks during the summer working under the tutelage of think tank scholar, Richard Kahlenberg, at The Century Foundation (TCF) in Washington, D.C. Richard D. Kahlenberg is a Senior Fellow at TCF, where he writes about education, equal opportunity, and civil rights.
Dr. Williams will pursue a study that examines issues of political will and micro-politics surrounding socio-economic student assignment policies. The four included in the study are San Francisco Unified District, Brandywine, Delaware School District, Champaign (Illinois) Unit Four School District, and Jefferson County School District (Kentucky). Dr. Williams' study builds from previous research that she and Dr. Eric Houck conducted in Wake County, North Carolina.
