About Me:
My research demonstrates the pivotal role of education in the process of identity formation, using Ecuadorian immigrant teenagers as a case example. My work contributes to a growing awareness that student identity does not simply affect academic performance, but rather the process of education influences students' ideas about identity and difference.
