Dr. Artiles is the Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education. His scholarship examines the dual nature of disability as an object of protection and a tool of stratification. Professor Artiles studies how protections afforded by disability status can unwittingly stratify educational opportunities for minoritized groups and is advancing responses to these inequities. He and his colleagues have led national and regional technical assistance initiatives at the state and school district levels to address these equity paradoxes. Artiles edits the book series "Futures of Disability in Worlds of Difference" (Harvard Education Press). He has served on several consensus panels of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Artiles is President of the National Academy of Education, was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and is a Fellow of AERA. He served for five years on the White House Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. Dr. Artiles was a Resident Fellow at Stanford’s Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. He received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Göteborgs (Sweden) and was Honorary Professor at the University of Birmingham (United Kingdom).
