Sharin Rawhiya Jacob, Postdoctoral Scholar, UC Irvine
|
Sharin is an educational researcher investigating computer science curricula and other digital technologies such as generative AI, and their conceptual relation to language, literacy, and culture. She adopts asset-based and culturally sustaining approaches to her work, and seeks to provide equitable learning opportunities for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
Sharin has extensive experience teaching diverse students, from high school English as Second Language teaching to university instruction on subjects related to language, literacy, and technology. In addition to her teaching and research activities, has engaged Cal State University Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) Fellow. This program provides financial support, professional development, and mentorship to promising doctoral students who are interested in becoming CSU faculty. In 2021, Sharin was recognized as a UCI Public Impact Distinguished Fellow for her commitment to bringing actionable change for multilingual students in computing. Most recently, she was awarded the 2021 Haynes Lindley Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship in support of my dissertation research. This award recognizes “well-conceived and imaginative research into the pressing economic, social, policy, or political issues that impact the five counties of Southern California.” |
