Julia Poel
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2025
BioJulia Grace Marie Poel is a PhD student in Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education, specializing in Science, Engineering, and Technology Education. She is also pursuing a cross-area specialization in Learning Sciences and Technology Design. Julia’s research focuses on the intersection of education policy, curriculum studies, and teacher education. She has a specific interest in how the integration of sustainability and multiple knowledge systems can bridge civic and science education.
Before beginning her studies at Stanford, Julia received her MA in Education Policy from Teachers College, Columbia University, and her BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Julia contributed to a variety of projects in K-12 education policy and science education at both institutions. For example, in a collaborative project between the Center for Educational Equity at Teachers College and the Youth Advocacy and Policy Lab at Harvard Law School, Julia had the opportunity to develop a conceptual model for civic education. At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Julia designed and facilitated professional learning experiences for K-12 teachers to support them in co-designing and customizing curriculum materials to be transdisciplinary and sustainability-centered. Julia also served as a K-2 science instructor at an elementary school in Harlem, New York, while completing her MA.
Julia is passionate about research and initiatives that aim to create equal opportunities for all students. She believes the intersection of science and civic education presents a critical opportunity to engage students in learning experiences that are relevant to their lives and communities. Julia believes science and civic education can empower students to design solutions that socially, scientifically, and technologically improve the world. -

Tairan Qiu
Assistant Professor of Education
BioI, 邱泰然, Tairan Qiu (she/her/她), am an Assistant Professor of English Language Arts and Literacy Education in the Graduate School of Education. Prior to my doctoral studies, I was an ELA and ESOL teacher. As a transnational migrant and East Asian woman, my research is at the intersection of language, literacy, culture, race, gender, and im/migration. My research agenda is oriented around critically unpacking the dynamic language and literacy practices of transnational youth and families, centering their stories and experiences to shape research-informed change in their schools, communities, and homes, and sustaining their whole cultural, linguistic, and literate repertoire.
I am committed to working in and with historically marginalized communities through community-centered research, teaching, and service. For example, funded by the Community Literacies Collaboratory, I am the co-founder of the University of Houston-Project Row Houses Community Literacies Center in Third Ward, Houston, TX. This arts-based Community Literacies Center offers weekly multiliteracies events for predominantly Black, Asian, Latiné, and translingual children, youth, and caregivers, where they celebrate their vibrant literacy practices in community with one another. Currently, I am working with a collective of nine transnational Girls of Color to narrate their transnational and translingual literacies and advocacy in and across their respective communities. -
