About me
Kirsten Lansey (she/her), Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of special education. Her overarching goal is to conduct research, teaching, and service that contributes to systemic educational change so that students with complex support needs receive inclusive and equitable learning opportunities that support them to reach their goals. Dr. Lansey’s current research focuses on identifying inequities in segregated educational placements of students with disabilities and intersecting identities by exploring multi-level factors. Additionally, she examines how the educational placement of students with complex support needs affects their access to free and appropriate public education (FAPE), particularly as it relates to the general education curriculum.
