Meet the Advisors
Behind every research project in the ICGS Global Action Research Collaborative on Girls' Education is a dedicated advisor offering guidance, insight, and encouragement.
These experienced educators and researchers support fellows as they develop their studies, navigate the research process, and share findings that strengthen teaching and learning in girls’ schools.
