Interests
As a graduate student in the School of Education at UMass, my research interests include the impact of social, economic and political systems on the educational trajectories of inner-city youth of color. I am currently interested in looking at the supplemental educational resources provided to students through school-based afterschool programs as compared to community- based afterschool programs and how each of these influence inner city youths’ educational outcomes both in the secondary and higher educational levels.
