About Ashley

Anglin's research examines civic engagement and its relationship to youth positive development; ethnic identity; and immigration status; and how community participation can be fostered in youth through educational opportunities such as service-learning and civics education. She is also interested in exploring various forms of community capital – including social; political; cultural; human; built; and economic capital – and how researchers can work collaboratively with communities to create policies and programs that support sustainable and meaningful community development.
