Kevin Schoenholzer, PhD
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Communication and Public Policy, University of Lugano (Università della Svizzera italiana, USI) Switzerland, in the research group of Prof. Dr. Benedetto Lepori.My research examines educational inequality over the life course and between generations. I study how family background is related to achievement, expectations and attainment, how students move through higher education, and how graduates fare in the labour market. I compare countries and cohorts to see where education systems and welfare policies widen or narrow these differences. I work with panel, register and assessment data, and I build open-source research software and teaching tools.
