PITTSBURGH-The University of Pittsburgh's Learning Policy Center (LPC) will launch its 2007-08 colloquium series with guest speakers Deborah Ball, dean of the University of Michigan's School of Education, and Paul Goren, vice president of the Spencer Foundation, at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 19, in Room 5604 Posvar Hall, 230 S.

The discussion will focus on the questions "What is research in education, and what makes it both special and essential?" Using a sample of studies that exemplify this educational perspective, Ball and Goren will raise challenges for researchers in schools of education.
