Amy Fisher, postdoctoral scholar and research associate at the Schubert Center for Child Studies, was featured in a recently published book about discipline-related inequality among students with disabilities, primarily students and children of color.
Discipline Disparities among Students With Disabilities was published by Teachers College Press in May 2022. Fisher authored a chapter on “School Discipline at the Intersection of Race and Ability: Examining the Role of Police in Schools.” Since its publication, the book has been hailed as a “road map for the next decade” in research and policy change initiatives that strive to end discriminatory practices in the educational system.
