Mimi (Marie) Lockton Ed.D.

Mimi (Marie) Lockton is a Postdoctoral Scholar who manages SOSNetLab, a group that uses a social network approach to mobilizing knowledge in the education space. Prior to earning her doctorate in Teaching and Learning from UC San Diego, she taught English and social studies in public schools.

Her research examines how teachers, schools, and education systems respond to changes in ideas and practices, and how communication patterns and structures shape that work. Using qualitative research methods, she studies the lived experiences of educators as they catalyze or encounter change, shedding light on why ideas, practices, and knowledge move through communities in the ways they do.
