Dr. Catherine Kramarczuk Voulgarides is assistant professor of special education at the City University of New York (CUNY), Hunter College. She received her Ph.D. in sociology of education from New York University. Her scholarship is focused on understanding how schools are both sites of educational opportunity and marginalization for nondominant students. She examines how notions of equity, access, and opportunity are constructed in policy and law; how educational policies and laws impact long-standing educational inequities; and how the social, historical, and cultural contexts of schools and the teaching and learning process relate to educational equity. She published her first book with Teachers College Press in 2018 in the Disability, Culture, and Equity Series entitled, Does Compliance Matter in Special Education: IDEA and the Hidden Inequities of Practice.
