Dibner, Kenne
Kenne Dibner is in her second year of the Educational Policy doctoral program. She moved to Michigan from New York City where she was working as a program director for a high-capacity after school program in Brooklyn. While living in New York, Kenne worked teaching civics and community organizing to high school students and was also involved in the YMCA's After School Advisory Board. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in English Literature and a minor in Fiber Arts from Skidmore College in 2005.
Kenne is interested in the politics of education, specifically as they pertain to the creation and assessment of federal education legislation. She spent this summer as a legal intern for the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Education and Labor in Washington, D.C, where she honed her interests. She is beginning her research practicum in the Spring of 2009, and hopes to look into legislative riders and their relationship to federal education legislation.
Kenne is supported by an Erickson Fellowship.
