Congratulations to UCLA Assistant Professor of Environmental Justice in Education Christopher Jadallah who has been awarded the NAED/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship!

His work, “Cultivating Political, Ethical, and Relational Horizons in Garden-Based Learning” seeks to help identify possible horizons for how learning environments can be designed in ways that revitalize land-based and community-based relationships in order to foster socio-ecological well-being.

The NAEd/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship supports career scholars working in critical areas of education research. A highly competitive initiative, this fellowship annually awards 25 of the most exceptional researchers conducting postdoctoral studies relevant to education.

We are so proud of our Ed&IS faculty for the strides they continue to make inside and outside the classroom!

We are excited to announce that UCLA Ed&Is Professor-in-Residence Maryanne Wolf’s book, “Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World,” has been selected as the 2026 Princeton Pre-Read!

“Reader, Come Home” explores the future of the reading brain and examines how our capacity for critical thinking, empathy, and reflection is evolving in an increasingly digital world.

Established in 2013 by Christopher L. Eisgruber, the Princeton Pre-Read introduces incoming undergraduate students to intellectual life at Princeton University. Each year, members of the incoming class read and engage with a selected book prior to arriving on campus. During Orientation Week and throughout the academic year, students participate in discussions with peers, student leaders, and President Eisgruber.

We celebrate our Ed&Is faculty whose work continues to shape critical inquiry on campuses and across communities worldwide.

Celebrating 100 Years 🎉🌟

Part of Mann UCLA’s 100th Anniversary Celebration included the dedication of a basketball court to Lakers legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar and his Skyhook Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to provide outdoor STEAM education to marginalized youth.

“Education is the real skyhook – it lifts young people beyond what they ever thought was possible,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “At Skyhook, we’re giving kids a shot at their future, one that can’t be blocked.”

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Chris Jadallah, Assistant Professor of Environmental Justice in Education, explores how young people and communities engage in land- and community-based learning. While he values scientific and technical expertise in addressing environmental challenges, he also emphasizes the importance of the knowledge and ideas of local community members.

His perspective is shaped by his background as an ecologist and his ongoing work with Black Thumb Farm in the San Fernando Valley, where youth are empowered to connect with nature and advocate for a sustainable future.

Today and every day, UCLA ED&IS celebrates educators like Jadallah who are committed to environmental justice and a more sustainable world.

On April 10th, we celebrated the centennial anniversary of Mann UCLA Community School in a big way.

Here’s to 100 years and many more to come 🎉
