Carey Borkoski, Ph.D., Ed.D.
Dr. Borkoski is an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University where she holds a joint faculty appointment with the School of Education and the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Within the School of Education, she teaches research methods and advises doctoral students in the online EdD program. Her research explores the role of communities, bridging media like podcasts and TedTalks, and storytelling in facilitating student onboarding, promoting deeper learning, and mitigating anxiety around learning and engaging in often unfamiliar academic spaces. Her research focuses on understanding the barriers and supports for cultivating our personal and communal sense of belong. In particular she works to identify strategies that most effectively cultivate belonging in our learning communities and is currently working on research to understand the onboarding and development of first-year doctoral students in online programs. Carey has shared her work in a variety of publications and at several national conferences. She has been invited to share her own journey to belonging as well as her research and teaching related to community building and belonging with audiences of students, teachers, and community members, and leaders. In her free time, Carey loves spending time with her family, running with her labradoodle, and biking all over the South Shore in Massachusetts.
