Ilana Umansky's (Stanford University) research lies at the intersection of education, immigration and language. Bringing together policy analysis and sociological theory, she studies the educational opportunities, experiences, and outcomes of immigrant and English learner (EL) students. Using rigorous quantitative methods, her work has examined topics including course access, language of instruction, reclassification, and the impact of the EL label. She works in close partnership with school districts, grounding her research in questions and responses that support greater educational equity and excellence for immigrant and EL-classified students.

Ms. Umansky's CV is attached. Please contact Jennifer McGovney at jmcgov at uoregon.edu<mailto:jmcgov at uoregon.edu> or 6-5171 with any questions.
