Vo Ram Yoon (him/his) is a doctoral student in the Policy, Politics, and Leadership cluster at the Berkeley School of Education (BSE). Ethnically Korean and raised in Bolivia, his passion for advancing social justice and equity in education have been shaped by his international upbringing and witnessing how privilege and marginalization manifest in education from the classrooms of Chicago Public Schools to the private English academies in Tokyo. His research interests include the racialization of AAPI students and the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality in organizations.
Prior to coming to the BSE, Vo partnered with public school districts on equity assessments examining the extent that school and district policies were effectively serving marginalized students. His work has been recognized by the American Evaluation Association with the President's Award, which recognizes evaluators whose work has uplifted the voices of today’s youth, the historically underrepresented, and/or the typically unheard.
