Dr. Ananya Tiwari is an assistant professor in Educational Psychology.
Her research bridges educational psychology, evaluation science, and global development to examine how systems can be transformed to better serve communities, one of which is rural adolescent girls in India. Using culturally responsive frameworks, she investigates how sense of belonging, social equity, and learning outcomes intersect within complex educational and policy ecosystems. Through mixed methods and collaborative inquiry, her work generates actionable evidence to support inclusive, system-level change across education, gender, and development sectors.
