Dane Joseph, PhD

Dane C. Joseph joined the College of Education in 2015 after spending five years at Pacific University. He holds a PhD in educational psychology with an emphasis in research, evaluation, and measurement, as well as an MA in philosophy from Washington State University. He has over 15 years of college teaching experience in research methods and social statistics, and has advised dozens of education research studies.

His scholarship typically intersects moral and educational psychology with research and data ethics, focusing on how to operationalize and teach fairness, responsibility, transparency, and accountability within a broad range of educational contexts, from multiple-choice tests to sports playing-time policies, as well as ethics board members' decision training and statistics education. He is also interested in understanding and explaining where, how, and why educational programs succeed or fail, and how to subsequently improve them.

These days he spends most of his time trying to engage his children to think analytically and creatively about data, artificial intelligence, and their future place in this world.
