Julia Brown
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioI attained my PhD in Political Science from Northwestern University, Evanston, at the end of 2021. My research focusses on John Locke’s theological and tolerationist writings, particularly those of his later years. While at Northwestern, in addition to researching and writing my dissertation, I designed and taught classes, ran weekly workshops, and co-organised a graduate student conference. Before coming to Stanford, I taught as part of the University of Chicago's Social Sciences Core program, specifically, the Classics of Social and Political Thought sequence.

Nissa Ren Cannon
Lecturer
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on transatlantic modernism, citizenship, and print culture. My book project, which was chosen for the 2019 Penn State First Book Institute, argues that the bureaucratic and literary documents of interwar itinerancy–including passports, travel ephemera, and newspapers–shape expatriation as a distinct mode of national belonging.

Caroline Daws
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioCaroline is a Lecturer in Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE) and a fungal ecologist by training. She was born and raised in Tennessee and completed a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee and received her PhD in Fall 2022 in Ecology and Evolution at Stanford University with a doctoral minor from the Graduate School of Education. Caroline’s dissertation research focused on how symbiotic relationships between plants and fungi can shape the composition and functions of forests and what these interactions can teach us about the ways our forests are changing and how to steward them. Combining field studies in Big Basin State Park, seedling experiments in the greenhouse, and sequencing work in the lab, she studied how these fungal partners can facilitate the coexistence of multiple tree species in coast redwood forests in the Bay area, and how changes to microbial communities might have far reaching consequences in forest composition in the long term.
Caroline was drawn to ecology as a new lens through which to see and understand the world through intentional practices of noticing and naming. In her teaching, Caroline invites students to harness their own lived experiences to investigate, question, and grow the narratives we learn and tell about humans and the natural world. She has taught introductory ecology, scientific methodology and writing on lichen community ecology at Stanford, and most recently she taught field courses in intertidal ecology and fungal ecology at Outer Coast in Sitka, Alaska. When she's not in the lab or in the classroom, Caroline is probably in the kitchen, in the ceramics studio, or outside on foot or on a bike. -

Jeremy Edwards
Lecturer
BioDr. Jeremy Edwards is a Lecturer for the Program in Writing and Rhetoric at Stanford University. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in Education from UC Santa Barbara, with an emphasis in Human Development and Cultural Studies, and his B.A. in Psychology at UCLA.
Dr. Edwards’ research centers on the Black experience in areas of higher education. Through a critical race lens, his work generally examines higher education practices and policies that impact Black student experiences. His research continues to explore different levels of access and opportunity landscapes that often exclude or ignore the histories and experiences of Black-identifying people. In his dissertation, “A Critical Race Analysis: Examining the Black College Experience at a Selective Public Minority-Serving Research Institution (MSRI),” he utilized qualitative case studies to assess relationships and support systems between Black students and highly selective four-year universities that ultimately influenced their agency and decision-making toward future career pathways. Dr. Edwards currently teaches PWR1JE: Exploring Voices: Race, Language, and Society. His recent article, “Black Pathways: Examining the History of Race Considerations in College Admissions at Highly Selective Campuses,” was published in the Journal for Critical Thought and Praxis.
