Research Abstract |
Thurston Domina earned his PhD in Sociology from the City University of New York in 2006. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University’s Texas Higher Education Opportunity Project from 2006-2007. Dr. Domina’s teaching and research focus on the role that educational policies play in producing and mitigating social inequalities. While his work has spanned K-16 education, Dr. Domina has dedicated particular attention to US higher education policy. His research has investigated the intergenerational consequences of college access programs, explored the ways in which higher education admissions and financial aid policies can operate as high school reform programs, and investigated the consequences that brain drain migration has had for American social and economic geography. |
