<p class="MsoNormal"><b>“<u>Can Health Policies be Effective Education Policies? Charting A Vision to Advance Equity Using Educational Data Science</u>”<u><o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of the three key strands of my research. Then, I will demonstrate how I use quantitative research methods for policy analysis with specific focus on my research examining the interconnectedness
of health and education policies. Specifically, I will describe findings from recent research where I examined the impact of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansions for low-income parents on children’s educational outcomes. Building on those findings
and implications, I will conclude by mapping out my vision for a robust policy-relevant, research and teaching agenda that centers data science techniques in the advancement of educational equity.<o:p></o:p></p>
