Dr. Taylor Enoch-Stevens is one of just four University of Arizona President’s Postdoctoral Fellows in the 2023-24 cohort, and the only President’s Postdoctoral Fellow within the College of Education. Dr. Enoch-Stevens earned her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in Urban Education Policy. She also holds a B.A. in Sociology from Dartmouth College. Prior to earning her Ph.D., she taught 5th grade in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Dr. Enoch-Stevens’ research examines racially equitable policy design and implementation in K-12 education with a focus on resource allocation, as well as the role of institutional agents in shaping racially equitable K-12 environments. Supported by a Mellon Mays Dissertation Grant, she recently studied the reallocation of school district dollars previously used for School Resource Officers (SROs), or school police, in order to determine how funds were reallocated, the conditions shaping those efforts, and the racial equity implications of these policy decisions. Currently, as a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr. Enoch-Stevens is examining the extent to which race has shaped school funding policies more broadly in order to advance the theoretical conversation on race and school finance. Her work is published in peer-reviewed journals such as Urban Education, Education Evaluation and Policy Analysis, American Behavioral Scientist, and others.
