Dr. Sarah-SoonLing Blackburn is an educator, speaker and
professional learning facilitator. She was born in Bangkok,
Thailand into a mixed-race Malaysian Chinese and white American
family. A classic "third culture kid," she grew up moving between
various East and Southeast Asian countries and the Washington DC
area. Sarah moved to the Deep South in 2009, and she has now lived
there longer than anywhere else. Her experiences first as a
classroom teacher and then as a teacher educator inform her beliefs
about the role that education can and must play in the realization
of social justice.
She owes very much to her ancestors.
Sarah spent most of her years in the classroom teaching third and
fourth grade. As a professional trainer, Sarah's areas of focus
have included workplace cultures, leadership skills, and diversity,
equity and inclusion. Sarah has an M.A. in Social Justice and
Education from University College London's Institute of Education.
Her doctoral research at Johns Hopkins University explored
strategies for retaining rural educators, and her Ed.D.
specialization was Instructional Design in Online Teaching and
Learning. She is based out of Oxford, Mississippi.
