The Universities of Wisconsin Institute for Urban Education (IUE) is honored to welcome Dr. Crystasany Turner as a Faculty Research Fellow beginning June 2025. An assistant professor at UW-Milwaukee, Dr. Turner brings critical expertise at the intersections of race, gender, class, and education—amplifying voices historically marginalized in academic discourse.
In collaboration with IUE Director Dr. Leanne Evans, Dr. Turner will engage in equity-oriented research in urban education to advance innovative engagement, leading-edge pedagogy, and transformative research to emphasize partnerships across PK-12 schools, higher education, and surrounding communities. Dr. Turner is committed to scholarship, teaching, and service that builds intentional coalitions, advocates for policy change, and leads community-driven initiatives.
Please join the IUE in welcoming Dr. Turner as we look forward to the transformative work ahead.
