Biography
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 in reaching their goals. Dr. Lansey’s current research focuses on identifying inequities in segregated educational placements of students with disabilities and intersecting identities through the exploration of 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. Her work has been featured in journals such as the Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, and the International Journal of Special Education.
