Leah Faw

Leah Faw’s scholarship explores issues of educational policy at the intersections of schools and cities, families, labor, and culture.

Faw is the co-chief emerita of the Berkeley Review of Education (BRE) and has worked as a researcher on the Central Valley School Discipline Learning Project, a statewide qualitative study that examined school discipline, climate, and culture across California.
