Cameron Sublett, a post-doctoral scholar and alumnus of UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz School, has been chosen to attend the Emerging Education Policy Scholars program conducted by The Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the American Enterprise Institute. The Emerging Education Policy Scholars (EEPS) program brings newly minted Ph.D. scholars and Ph.D. candidates who bring to the table a keen research eye, fresh ideas, and boundless (or budding) enthusiasm for education policy to our nation’s capital to meet with education-policy experts and to share and brainstorm exciting new directions for K–12 education research.
Cameron Sublett is currently a postdoctoral scholar at UCSB, where he researches education policy in P-16 educational contexts. His current research focuses on distance education coursetaking among community college students, the effect of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) career and technical courses (CTE) on the transition from high school to college, and policy and finance issues related to the Promise movement in higher education. Cameron is also in the process of exploring the academic and socioemotional benefits of attending full versus part day kindergarten. In addition to his research, Cameron teaches statistics and quantitative methods at UCSB and Santa Barbara City College (SBCC).
Sublett previously was the recipient of an Emerging Scholars Award from the University of California Center – Sacramento (UCCS). At UCSB’s Department of Education his advisor was Dr. Michael Gottfried, who also was an EEPS scholar (2013-14).
