Changing Education Master Theses

Inaugurated in 2020, the Changing Education program (CE) educates students from across the globe. From the neural level to global policies, CE's courses inspire students to view education as a dynamic and transformable construct. Consequently, topics and fields of study will vary greatly among CE students' theses. This page serves to capture the final culmination of the dynamic work of those students.
