On Wednesday, May 21, 2003 Pedro Antonio Noguera, Professor of Communities and Schools at Harvard Graduate School of Education will give a talk on "How Listening to Students Can Help to Improve Schools." Professor Noguera was previously a professor in Social and Cultural Studies and the director of the Institute for the Study of Social Change at UC Berkeley. Noguera's research focuses on schools' responses to social and economic forces within the urban environment. He has engaged in collaborative research with several large, urban school districts, and published and lectured on topics such as youth violence, race relations within schools, the potential impact of school choice and vouchers on urban public schools, and secondary issues resulting from desegregation in public schools. Noguera was a K-12 classroom teacher for several years and continues to teach part-time in high schools. In 1995, he received an award from the Wellness Foundation for his research on youth violence, and in 1997 he received the University of California’s Distinguished Teaching Award.
