EPE 676 - Organization and Administration of Higher Education
Students will have the opportunity to learn more about and apply organizational theories and perspective related to the ways in which colleges and universities, public and private, are organized and administered. The course is meant to help students strengthen their analytic and research skills regarding organizational and administrative issues in higher education to inform topics related to policy and practice. During the course, students will have the opportunity to consider multiple theoretical and conceptual approaches related to organizational and administrative issues in higher education. Contact Dr. Neal Hutchens
EPE 683 - Affirmative Action and Federal Regulation of Higher Education
This course will provide students the opportunity to examine issues related to race equity and diversity in education, especially the legal framework surrounding the implementation of federal, state, and campus policies related to affirmative action. While much of the course will focus on topics related to higher education, the course will also consider recent cases from the U.S. Supreme Court dealing with equity and diversity efforts at the K-12 level. In the context of higher education, we will especially examine the impact of the Supreme Court’s decisions dealing with the use of race as a factor in higher education admissions in two cases involving the University of Michigan. The course will consider state-specific policy responses to issues involving affirmative action and will also consider federal law and policy issues, including proposed legislation dealing with access to higher education for undocumented students (the Dream Act).

EPE773 Introduction to Rasch Measurement
Tuesday 9:30am-12
This reading and discussion-based seminar, with applied practice, will provide an overview of the practice of classical test theory. The focus will then shift to a detailed foundation of measurement as practiced using item response theory with a focus on Rasch measurement. What's wrong with the traditional approach to measuring 'things'? Rasch measurement facilitates more efficient, reliable and valid instruments. Rasch measurement focuses on the items and persons rather than the 'score' of the instrument, allowing for a synthesis of quantitative analysis with qualitative issues. Who uses Rasch measurement? This course is useful to anyone who wants to understand the role of modern measurement in research. Contact Kelly Bradley, Ph.D. with questions: kdbrad2@uky.edu
EPE 773- Global Education, Media, and Popular Culture
Mondays 4:00-6:30
This seminar will explore the interplay of popular culture, mass media, globalization, peer cultures, education, and gendered identities. The objectives of this course include enhancing our understandings of transnational patterns of gendered education, cultural flows and diffusion, normalization and resistance, and student cultures. We will analyze the impact of neo-liberal/postfeminist sensibilities and makeover technologies on formal educational institutions and practices, self-help and informal educational spaces, and the production of gendered identities. We will examine femininities, masculinities, class, belonging, citizenship, ethnicities, race, sexualities, and embodiment, along with ideologies of self-improvement and personal responsibility/empowerment. We will focus on a variety of popular culture forms including Reality TV makeover shows. For more information contact Dr. Karen Tice:

EPE798 Seminar in Higher Education: Comparative and International Higher Education
Wednesdays 4-6:30

Taught in three self-standing modules, the course will explore comparative methods and theoretical frameworks in comparative higher education research.

Finally, we will examine the field of education abroad as an area of professional practice and as an important element of global education for today's post-secondary students. Assignments will include comparative investigations, policy papers, and assessment of programmatic and learning objectives. Graduate students from across the university are welcome to participate.

Kudos to the KCTCS Cohort on their Success in Atlanta
From Tricia Browne-Ferrigno:
The KCTCS cohort presentation at the SRCEA conference this past Friday afternoon was the most professional of any that I attended there. Sixteen of the 22 cohort members traveled to Atlanta to participate in this "laboratory of practice" experience within the EdD program.
Several cohort members assumed additional responsibilities in making the symposium such a success. Chris Phillips, Lewis Burke, Jerry Gilliam, and Lisa Stephenson represented their respective writing teams as presenters of the four student-authored papers. Two of the four papers report findings from student-conducted survey research this semester. Below are the paper titles and names of the co-authors:
Innovative Leadership Preparation: What Works and Why
Susan Berry, Paul Blankenship, Wendy Bolt, Chris Phillips
Stages of Group Development: From Strangers to Partners
Lewis Burke, Nancy Preston, Mike Quillen, Richard Roe, Ella Strong
Being Students Again: Balancing Ambiguities, Expectations, and Responsibilities
Amber Decker, Michelle Dykes, Jerry Gilliam, Shawn Marrs
Being and Becoming Leaders: Application of Learning
Karen Hlinka, Teresa May, Deronda Mobelini, Lisa Stephenson, Alissa Young
Richard Roe assumed leadership responsibility for creation of a single PowerPoint slide presentation for the symposium. It was finalized through collaborative editing efforts by cohort members during a Thursday evening session at the hotel and resulted in smooth transitions from one speaker to the next. Alissa Young served as the official time keeper, performing the task well thanks to last-minute guidance from Deronda Mobelini about strategies to help speakers stay within their allotted time. Cohort members in the audience participated in the Q&A session following the paper presentations. Although Michael Stapleton did not co-author a conference paper, he traveled to Atlanta to support his peers. His participation was much appreciated.
Cohort members did an outstanding job representing UK and KCTCS not only during our symposium, but also during other sessions and activities at the SRCEA conference on Friday. Unfortunately, they had to leave Atlanta early Saturday morning in order to return home to complete a course assignment due today.
Copies of the conference papers are available on the EPE website: http://education.uky.edu/EPE/content/carnegie-project-education-doctorate
