Dr. Ilana Horwitz holds a doctorate in Sociology of Education from the Stanford Graduate School of Education. In her research, Ilana asks: how do young people’s social identities—primarily religion, social class, gender and race—shape their educational journeys. She examines this question by analyzing various nationally representative, longitudinal survey and interview datasets. Prior to Stanford, Ilana worked as a management consultant and program evaluator. She also earned a master’s in Sociology from Stanford, a master’s in International Education Development from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a bachelor’s in Business Administration from Emory University.
