2020 AERA Fellow

Dr. Hamann's primary scholarly interests are in three overlapping areas: (1) how transnational movement of students and families is responded to by schools (particularly movement between the U.S. and Latin America); (2) how educational policies are cultural productions transformed in their conversion to practice (particularly collaboration across tiers of the educational system, like state departments of education working with schools); and (3) how school reform is/is not responsive to various student populations (particularly transnationally mobile students and English language learners). More than 60 of Dr. Hamann's publications, including his graduate students' theses and dissertations, can be accessed through UNL Digital Commons using the search term "Edmund T. Hamann.”

In the autumn of 2019, as a highlight of 25 years of studying the circumstances, aspirations, and challenges of transnational students, Dr. Hamann served as a Fulbright Garcia-Robles US Scholar at the Tijuana campus (Unidad 022) of the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional where he studied binational higher education collaborations intended to better prepare educators in both the US and Mexico to serve student with school experience in the other country.
