IU Advisor/Host: Christopher Lubienski
Research Interests: My Doctoral research interests include homeschooling, unschooling, organic learning, and other alternative education models. I am particularly passionate about exploring how child-led and parent-supported learning environments contribute to holistic development. My academic focus is expanding toward early childhood education, curriculum design, instructional strategies, and classroom management, with a strong emphasis on fostering creativity, autonomy, and emotional well-being in learning.
Hobbies and Personal Interests: I love spending time outdoors: hiking, walking, and exploring nature. I am also an avid reader, particularly interested in books on personal growth, motivation, and human potential. Beyond academics, I enjoy engaging with diverse cultures, creative design, and community-building activities that support families and learners.
Future Goals: My goal is to contribute to educational research and development either in academia or in organizations that value innovative and inclusive learning practices. I aspire to design programs and resources that empower both educators and families to nurture meaningful learning experiences.
