UW–Madison alum receives Dissertation of the Year Award
UW–Madison alumna Erin Hastey, who graduated with a PhD from the School of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis in 2023, has received the Dissertation of the Year Award from the Council for the Study of Community Colleges ( CSCC ).
For over a decade, Hastey “has empowered organizational leaders to move from conflict to connected action,” notes her CSCC bio. She works as a consultant to board members and executives to develop highly effective governing boards.
Hastey’s research focuses on how board effectiveness aligns with organizational outcomes. Her dissertation, written with support from her mentor and adviser Xueli Wang, UW–Madison’s Barbara and Glenn Thompson Professor in Educational Leadership, focuses on board effectiveness in community college districts.
CSCC’s Dissertation of the Year award, issued annually, is given to recent doctoral graduates that “demonstrate excellence in scholarly inquiry, illustrate originality of thought, and include significant findings that make a substantial contribution to the extant literature on community colleges; that shed new light on how issues and challenges facing community colleges are researched, theorized, and interpreted; and/or that potentially could have an important effect on community college policy and/or practice.”
Hastey was honored during CSCC’s 65th annual conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.

By Lumumba Dunduza | April 21, 2024 School of Education (SOE) EdD program alum Dr. Francesca Smith , '23, was awarded the 2024 Outstanding Dissertation Award by AERA's Bilingual Education Research Special Interest Group (SIG 12). The award is her second prestigious honor for the dissertation after winning the 2023 Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) Dissertation in Practice of the Year Award.
"At my dissertation defense last year, my mom shared with me for the first time that when she was searching for a kindergarten program to enroll me in - as she and my dad were recent immigrants from Mexico - she was told by a school administrator that she needs to stop speaking to me in Spanish if she wanted me to enroll and succeed in their program," Smith reflected during her acceptance speech at AERA's 2024 Annual Meeting. "Thankfully, she did not enroll me there, and we continued to speak Spanish at home. Now, as a multilingual adult and educator, it's an honor to have my work acknowledged and share this space with so many inspiring individuals advocating for the gift of bilingual education and the assets of multilingualism."
A key consideration for her research agenda was whether dual-language schools in the U.S. – which attract students with linguistic, racial, and socioeconomic privilege – are intentionally supporting the specific needs and assets of emergent bilingual (EB) students from Latinx families.
The dissertation’s principal research examined how early intervention in a first-grade dual-language classroom could refocus EB students via both structured literacy instruction and parent partnership using cultural practices and bodies of knowledge that are embedded in the daily practices and routines of families, also known as funds of knowledge.
“The power of dual-language education is that students learn to read in two languages, which is a gift in and of itself, but is a particularly powerful gift for students from Latinx immigrant backgrounds and Spanish-speaking homes,” Smith said in 2023. “These students can use this gift to sustain their cultural roots but also to gain a research-proven academic advantage through learning in their native language. Maintaining this promise of dual-language education for equity and empowerment was at the center of my work.”
SIG 12 was exceptionally moved by Smith’s findings: an 11-week exploration of “how a teacher could build upon EB students’ Spanish language and literacy competencies within small-group English instruction at the beginning of their formal bilingual education” resulted in quantitative findings showing “that grounding early English reading instruction in the transfer and non-transfer of Spanish literacy skills supported students’ progress toward grade-level expectations for English decoding and letter sound knowledge” the group reported, among other significant findings.
"I am so grateful to the Bilingual Education Research SIG's recognition and the opportunity to connect with so many brilliant leaders in the bilingual education field at AERA. At past AERA meetings and, specifically, at the Bilingual Education Research presentations, I was able to connect with several scholars who provided the foundations of my research. It was exciting to be a part of the conversations in the field and have my work validated in that space," Smith said. "I also want express sincere gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee, Alida Anderson , Katarina Brito, and Amelia Tseng, as well as to the rest of my EdD and SOE community at American University." SOE’s EdD in Education Policy and Leadership program is becoming well-known in the field of education’s academic circles for its acclaimed award-winning dissertations. In addition to Dr. Smith’s wins, last year, program alum Dr. Cheyenne E. Batista , '22, received Outstanding Dissertation awards from both AERA (2023, Division A) and CPED (2022) for her dissertation, “’I Am Not Scary. I Am Strong. There’s a Difference.’ Disrupting Misogynoir and Transforming Interpersonal Conflict for Black Women Education Leaders: A Multiple Case Study.” __________________________
