Katherine Cumings Mansfield

Professor Mansfield, an award-winning teacher and researcher, currently serves as The Mike Moses Endowed Chair in Educational Leadership. A first-generation college graduate, Mansfield has over 30 years’ experience as a teacher and administrator across the preschool to post-secondary pipeline. Mansfield completed her Ph.D. in Educational Policy and Planning at The University of Texas at Austin where she also earned additional graduate credentials in Women’s and Gender Studies. Mansfield’s research spans across primary, secondary, and tertiary education sectors (P-16) and centers on the intersection of social identities, politics, policy, and practice. For example, she has studied the disproportionality in school discipline, gifted education, and STEM as it relates to gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other identity complexities in schools. Mansfield has also studied the importance of mentoring women graduate students, especially those studying in historically male-dominated fields such as educational leadership and STEM. Mansfield is passionate about student voice and the importance of including students as educational leaders and policy actors in local, state, national, and global arenas. This work has been featured on National Public Radio and has taken her to 10 countries across 6 continents.

Recently Promoted Faculty in the College of Education

The College of Education’s continued excellence depends on the quality of our faculty. All faculty at the University of North Texas must have a distinguished record in research, teaching, and training, contribution to the intellectual community, and service when being considered for promotion. Each time a faculty member is considered for promotion or tenure, they are held to the same high standard: a proven record that suggests a sustained career embodied by true excellence. These principles guide University departments in evaluating faculty for promotion and/or tenure.
