Bibler, Andrew; Billings, Stephen B.; Ross, Stephen – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2023
School choice lotteries are an important tool for allocating access to high-quality and oversubscribed public schools. While prior evidence suggests that winning a school lottery decreases adult criminality, there is little evidence for how school choice lotteries impact non-lottery students who are left behind at their neighborhood school. We…

Barrett J. Taylor; Kelly Rosinger; Karly S. Ford – Sociology of Education, 2024

Admission officers report using sorting (e.g., GPA, standardized tests) and concertedly cultivated (e.g., extracurricular activities) and ascriptive status (e.g., whether an applicant identifies as a member of a…

I estimate the effect of attending an associate's degree in nursing program on nursing licensure.

Lauren Tuckley; Catherine Salgado; Jessica Edens McCrary; Elise Rudt-Moorty – Written Communication, 2024
The letter of recommendation (LOR) is a stylized form of direct sponsorship, a rhetorical appeal that confers favor on a person or object in keeping with the writer's - or sponsor's - character, authority, and expertise. In response to Swales's call to "unveil" the rhetorical features of occluded genres, this research employs a move-step…

This article discusses the methodological challenges of researching elite boys' schooling, in a study involving interviewing alumni who attended these schools from the 1970s to the 2020s. In particular, through a feminist poststructuralist methodological framing, it considers the necessity for researcher reflexivity in engaging in research in such…

In Chapter 1, we study the allocation of homogeneous positions under affirmative action policies where some positions are reserved for underrepresented groups on a "minimum guarantee" basis.

Tilly Clough – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2024
In England and Wales, fee-charging independent schools can be legally classified as charities and, therefore, receive associated benefits, the most obvious being taxation advantages.

Ford, Karly S.; Rosinger, Kelly; Choi, Junghee – Policy Futures in Education, 2022
