New faculty: Kristin Keane

Keane has loved reading for as long as she can remember. From story time in Ms. Acorn’s kindergarten class to seeing her mother read at home, to the hours Keane spent in the public library as a child, she surrounded herself with books. And so it seems fitting that her scholarly work centers on literacy. “I believe every child has a right to read, and every teacher has a right to learn how to do it well, and I care deeply about being a part of helping that be true,” Keane says. Keane joined BSE's faculty in January 2026.

It takes two to OЯTHO

Can two people learn math together by acing an arcade game? It's a question being investigated through an interactive tabletop digital game called OЯTHO, where players pick up fundamentals of the Cartesian coordinate system as their secret sauce for entering the hallowed hall of fame. Developed by Professor Dor Abrahamson and two scientists at the Copernicus Science Centre (CSC) in Warsaw, Poland, Katarzyna Potęga vel Żabik and Ilona Iłowiecka‐Tańska, OЯTHO challenges players to collaboratively navigate a virtual ball through maze-like paths, with the objective of completing the course in the shortest time and with the fewest moves.

BSE now offers a Bachelor's degree in Educational Sciences

We know that education not only happens in schools and higher education, but also includes myriad forms of learning across contexts and the life span. Educational Sciences as an academic discipline explores the field of education via academic inquiry and direct engagement with schools, families, and local and global communities.
