Walls for her research project “Tolerance vs. Inclusion: How Immigration Affects Education.” Walls is a native of Chicago and currently the Dean of Students at Maria High School in Chicago. She received a B.S. in Psychology (2005) and a M.Ed. in Educational Administration and Policy (2007) from Howard University (Washington, DC). Upon completing graduate school in 2007, Walls traveled to Thailand, Sweden and throughout the U.S. with the program Up with People. Walls’ research will explore how the social and cultural differences of native Swedish youth and their Middle Eastern immigrant peers affect the overall climate of schools in Södertälje, where currently nine percent of the population (85,000) is comprised of immigrants from Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries. Walls would ultimately like to pursue a doctorate in International and Comparative Education.
