About me

Susan Kemper Patrick, Ph.D.

Educational researcher.

I am a senior researcher at the Learning Policy Institute. My research examines inequities in the learning opportunities available to both students and their teachers. In my work, I use both qualitative and quantitative methods to better capture and understand the experiences of educators and the implementation of policies meant to support their development. I received a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership in Policy from Vanderbilt University in 2019, a M.Ed. in Learning, Diversity, and Urban Studies from Vanderbilt University in 2010, and a B.A. in African and African-American Studies from Duke University in 2007. Prior to joining the Learning Policy Institute, I served as a postdoctoral researcher for the Tennessee Education Research Alliance.
