Why did you chose to pursue a Ph.D in Social Studies?

“Educating the American youth to become active, informed and responsible citizens is very important to me. I feel that a PhD in Social Studies Education provides me with the best teaching practices and research skills to become an effective teacher educator for the 21st century.”
