  • Education scholar John Papay to direct Brown’s Annenberg Institute for School Reform

    06/07/2023 | News from Brown
    John Papay, a leading scholar on educational inequality and an associate professor of education at Brown University, has been appointed the next director of Brown’s Annenberg Institute for School Reform.
