Berkeley School of Education

Faculty delve into the broad landscape of influences – namely, history, social and economic policy, and politics – and the organizational features of the institutions that sustain the nation’s diverse array of local schools and districts. Faculty conduct both social science research and teach in the economics, sociology, history, and politics of education. Together, faculty hold a commitment to fine empirical work – whether qualitative or quantitative – that illuminates the motivations, values, and practices shaping common cause and stakeholder conflict as we try to improve public education.
