About Julie Carter
Biography:
I have spent my career as an educator, from secondary school classrooms through graduate teacher education. My professional focus has been in the field of educational equity with a particular emphasis on preparing culturally competent urban teachers. I have served as an Associate Professor of Adolescent Education at St. John’s University in Queens, NY, Director of the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program at D’Youville College, and most recently Lecturer in Social and Psychological Foundations at Buffalo State University.
My curriculum and professional development projects have always emphasized collaboration with community partners and a focus on culturally and linguistically relevant pedagogy as the basis of transformative and supportive academic experiences. I look forward to my work here at Roswell Park, which will create watershed STEM programs for K-16 (elementary through college) students. I hope young people will come and experience cancer science as accessible and, as a result, consider a career in a biomedical field. I look forward to helping showcase the innovative work happening at Roswell Park in ways that are “hands-on” and even fun. These programs are one means of lighting a spark of curiosity and passion in tomorrow’s biomedical workforce.
