Welcome to our FIG! My name is Puja Clifford and I'm an instructor in the Education Studies department, where I get to do one of my favorite things: teach future teachers. My classrooms have ranged from high school in San Francisco to the mountains of central California to middle school in Spain. In this FIG, we will (re)think about schooling, envision what future classrooms could look like, and, most importantly, build community together. Some of my hobbies include biking, rollerblading badly, and spending time with my husband and our two kiddos. Once again, welcome, and I am honored to be part of your new beginning at UO!

Hi everyone! My name is Colleen, my pronouns are they/them/theirs, and I am the FIG assistant for Education and Freedom Dreaming. I am an Educational Foundations major in my second year here in the University of Oregon.

I am from Los Angeles, California, and I’m so excited to be working with you all! In my free time, I love to build LEGOs, talk about Star Wars, and listen to music. I was in this FIG my freshman year, and I hope you all love it as much as I did. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you just want to introduce yourself. I can’t to meet you all!
