Maisha T. Winn
Excellence in Learning Graduate School of Education Professor
BioMaisha T. Winn is the Excellence in Learning Professor in the Graduate School of Education where she also serves as the faculty director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning's Equity in Learning Initiative. She is also the Principal Investigator of the Futuring for Equity Lab. An ethnographer by training, Dr. Winn examines the intersection of language, literacy, and culture. Her research seeks to understand how non-dominant communities curate independent teaching and learning spaces to engage in writing, reading, and learning.
Dr. Winn was the A 2022-23 Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford and is a member of the National Academy of Education. She is a past president (2025-2026) of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and is also an AERA Fellow.
Dr. Winn has authored several books including: Writing in Rhythm: Spoken Word Poetry in Urban Classrooms; Black Literate Lives: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives; Girl Time: Literacy, Justice, and the School-to-Prison Pipeline; and Justice on Both Sides: Transforming Education through Restorative Justice. She co-edited Faith Made Flesh: The Black Child Legacy Campaign for Transformative Justice and Healthy Futures (with Lawrence “Torry” Winn, Vajra Watson, and Kindra F. Block); Restorative Justice in Education: Transforming Teaching and Learning through the Disciplines (with Lawrence “Torry” Winn); and Humanizing Research: Decolonizing Qualitative Inquiry with Youth and Communities (with Django Paris).

Virginia D. Winn, MD, PhD
Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Reproductive, Perinatal & Stem Cell Biology Research)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Winn Laboratory seeks to understand the unique biological mechanisms of human placentation. While the placenta itself is one of the key characteristics for defining mammals, the human placenta is different from most available animal models: it is one of the most invasive placentas, and results in the formation of an organ comprised of cells from both the fetus and the mother. In addition to this fascinating chimerism, fetal cells are deeply involved in the remodeling of the maternal vasculature in order to redirect large volumes of maternal blood to the placenta to support the developing fetus. As such, the investigation of this human organ covers a large array of biological processes, and deals not only with understanding its endocrine function, but the physiologic process of immune tolerance, vascular remodeling, and cellular invasion.
