Dane Joseph, PhD
Associate Professor of Education
Dane C. Joseph joined the College of Education in 2015. He holds a PhD in Educational Psychology with a focus on Research, Evaluation, and Assessment, as well as an MA in Philosophy—both from Washington State University. He has taught various methodological courses for more than 15 years, including evaluation, social statistics, and improvement science; and has also advised dozens of education research studies.
Joseph's scholarship explores ways to think pragmatically about the strengths and limitations of formal learning theory. He believes that we can teach people to make better decisions—at work, play, or in life—by considering what complex concepts like validity, fairness, and reliability actually mean and how they really work.
