- FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS
Terri S. Wilson is a Faculty Fellow in the Office of Faculty Affairs, focusing on the Leadership Education for Advancement & Promotion (LEAP). LEAP is one of four leadership development programs the Office of Faculty Affairs offers to develop a strategic leadership pipeline on campus across the faculty lifespan. In her role, Terri facilitates two-day, skills-based workshop for pre-tenured faculty (assistant professors) includes sessions on time management, career development, and cultivating leadership skills presented by tenured faculty, administrators, and professional staff.
Terri is an Associate Professor in the School of Education, in the Educational Foundations, Policy and Practice (EFPP) area. She also serves as Faculty Director of the MA in Higher Education (MAHE) program.
A philosopher of education, Terri's scholarship focuses on the relationship between individual choices, rights and interests in education, and how these intersect with the public goods of education, including equity, justice and democratic participation. She aims to connect philosophy to pressing questions in education policy, asking both conceptual (e.g., what is “the public” in public education?) and normative questions (e.g., what identities should be recognized in school choice?). Taken as a whole, her work aims to develop a better understanding of the distinctly public aims of education, and how policy might best further those aims.
