Beyond the credits

February 19, 2026
As dual enrollment grows rapidly nationwide, including a sharp rise in participation across Washington state, Dr. Julia Duncheon is studying what accelerated college pathways mean for students’ learning and development. While these programs promise affordability and access, her research highlights important tradeoffs that often go unnoticed. Drawing on student stories and classroom insights, she explores how institutions can balance efficiency with the deeper purposes of higher education.

EduTalks 2026: Solving for X

Tue, Mar 31 2026, 5 - 7pm

A Celebration of Ideas in Education

EduTalks brings together educators, researchers and community leaders to share bold ideas shaping the future of education.

In just five minutes — and with a single powerful image — each presenter explores innovative approaches to today’s most pressing challenges.

 

Solving for X

At the UW College of Education, we’re "solving for x," taking inspiration from high school algebra to step into the complicated, often uncertain challenges in education with imagination and heart.

In math, x represents the unknown. In education, it symbolizes the complex questions we face as we strive for a more just, equitable and joyful future for all learners. Solving for these challenges takes imagination, persistence and, above all, community.

Join us for an inspiring evening of insight and connection as we explore what it means to solve for x together.

  • Tuesday, March 31, 2026

Alumni Spotlight: Dr. Jeannine Dingus-Eason

February 2, 2026
In this Q&A, Dr. Jeannine Dingus-Eason reflects on her new book, A Thousand Worries: Black Women Mothering Autistic Sons, a powerful examination of Black mothering, advocacy, and care at the intersections of race, disability, gender, and class. Drawing from scholarship, lived experience, and community narratives, the book centers voices that are too often excluded from dominant conversations about autism.
