Guest Editor Katie Headrick Taylor



Katie Headrick Taylor is associate professor of learning sciences and human development at the University of Washington’s College of Education. Research-practice partnerships led by Taylor center racial and gender equity in STEM, data science, and digital literacy. These collaborations have occurred across museums, public libraries, public schools, homes, undergraduate courses, and family-serving organizations in New York, Chicago, Nashville, Seattle, and nonmetropolitan areas of East Tennessee. Her scholarship and teaching focus on community well-being through the digital re-mediation of learning, foregrounding the ingenuity that young people from immigrant and/ or communities of color have within and across contexts. Taylor’s commitment to care as a design value for digitally-mediated learning interventions has been fundamentally shaped by her roles as mother, daughter, educator, and writer. Funded by, among others, the National Science Foundation, the NAEd/ Spencer Foundation, and the Heising-Simons Foundation, Taylor’s research and public scholarship can be found in venues such as The Conversation, The Journal of the Learning Sciences, Cognition & Instruction, Connected Science Learning, and Learning, Media, & Technology.
