I am currently working with a graduate student, Claudia Rangel, on an international research project in Latin America. We are utilizing survey and geographical data to model the impact of neighborhood poverty and segregation on educational inequality in the city of Cartagena, Colombia. One of the main goals of this study is to examine how school quality, family background and neighborhood characteristics together influence the likelihood student dropout rates and achievement across the city.
